script command: Pause

What this does
This command allows you to pause or un-pause parts of the game engine, such as the player, other sprites, or disable menus. This is useful when you want to disable the player during cutscenes, which typically occur in auto or collide scripts, or allow the player to move while talking to someone.
ie: During a talk script.

More info
This command can pause other parts of a game too, if the game is programmed to allow it. Internally, any pausing in a game is handled by the loop system. Any movieClips handled by that system can be paused. When you use this command, you give it the name of the loop-set to pause or unpause.
