video stop and play

I wrote an action script that controls the video stop and play. The video Instance was given a name, both stop and play buttons were given a name and an action script was written using event listener. This works. However, my timeline has text objects that are to appear and disappear at certain times (syncronized to the video). When I Control>Test Movie, the video stops and plays when I hit the appropriate button but the timeline just continues playing. Is there some way of stopping the timeline at the same time the video stops??
