Stop Movie troubles

Hi all,
This message board has helped me a lot!  I was hoping someone would be able 
to help me with a problem I have not yet been able to solve.

Im setting up an experiment that has this structure:
1. Intro screens (obviously)
2. Slide with sub objects: text and SoundOut
3. Slide with sub objects: MovieDisplay and SoundOut (i.e. movie and 
question presented simultaneously)
4. SoundOut object on its own (i.e. a beep) with recorded response (i.e. 
press 1 or 2).
5. Text slide with response (1 to 6). 

I am running into trouble in step 3.  I would ultimately love for the movie 
to keep playing until a response is made after the beep (in step 4).  This 
way a subject can see the video (plus hear some audio) and then make a 
response after a beep noise to which it would cause the stopping of the 
video.  Thus, i have set the MovieDisplay with the settings as End Movie 
Action: "Terminate" and Stop Movie after: "No" so it can keep playing. 
 However, when i do this the movie continues playing until its end, even 
after making a response after the auditory beep.  I have tried to insert 
in-line code after the beep (i.e. Movie1.Stop) as this fellow poster did: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/e-prime/XYEHpARxY0g/R0isrcBcBhQJ , 
but this just closes down the entire program. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is there any way i can tell eprime to 
end the movie (or the slide itself) after a response to the beep (in step 
4) is made? I am not very proficient with code, although i have tried many 
shenanigans to get around this!

Thank you for any help or advice!
Roberto
