There are such a lot of ways of doing this, but for now, here's a 
fairly easy one:

on exitframe
    global playedalready
    if not playedalready then
      puppetsound 1,"sound.mp3"
      playedalready = true
     end if
end

In a movie script you would have this:

on startmovie
   global playedallready
    playedalready = false
end
