All you need to do is place three buttons on the main timeline, with no

other keyframes (so that they are present throughout the movie). For start,

assign the action "play" to the button. For pause or stop (same thing)

assign the action "stop." Note these will stop the main timeline animation

as well as the sound. If you just want the sound to stop, use either "stop

all sound" or use the sound dialogue box (in frame properties), select the

sound you're playing, and select "stop" for sync type. This will not stop

the animation, however you will not have a way to turn the sound back on

again without restarting it from the beginning.
