yes - opening the MIAW kills the playing sounds.

true - modal blocks out changes

open the MIAWs at the same time as the stage - have them sit on an
empty first frame & set them invisible until you need them
play all your sounds in your stage movie
when you need the MIAW, make it visible and tell the playhead to move onward
for more trickery, look up the TELL command in the Lingo Dict -
It's essential for MIAW work.
hope this helps
