Pause, Stop and Resume buttons

Hi Everyone,

I've got a fairly short little animation sequence that the folks here at my work would like to insert into one of our web pages on our site.  It's a demo on how to use one of our products, so I'd like to add a few buttons so the user can pause and then resume the entire movie.  There is absolutely no scripting applied to the FLA right now.

Could someone please get me started with this?  I've been working on another project that involves scripting some buttons with AS3, so I have some knowledge, but am still having a lot of difficulty, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
