Would have to know how you have the start and stop labels arranged and what 

the TellTarget commands are. Should work fine. Actually you can stop the 

sound by pausing playback, e.g.:

Tell Target (_level3)

         Stop

End Tell Target


and resume playback at the same place with

Tell Target (_level3)

         Play

End Tell Target


Otherwise:

Tell Target (_level3)

         Go To (frame label: stop)

End Tell Target


should work fine -- make sure you don't use Go To and Play. "Stop" should 

be a blank frame at the beginning of the timeline. Maybe you are using a 

frame at the end -- if the entire movie hasn't loaded, Tell Target won't 

find the later frame.
