A sprite channel was where I placed my sound file.

Thank you! This was the answer I wanted. I believe I have phrased the
question wrongly. Sorry if I was misleading to some of you. However, I do
appreciate Al's and Irv's replies. Thank you for pointing me to your
excellent article, Irv.
I actually wanted to know of ways when the execution of scripts was not top
down and under what circumstances was it desirable to have this sequence
disrupted.
I believe this knowledge will help me write a so-called 'better' script.
May I know why?
Many thanks.
