Use this action:

_root.stop();

stop() is bad what you should do is make a variable call it pause and then
make it true when a button is pressed and put
if(!pause){
//all actions
}
and your good

its simple..Just put:

var blah:Boolean = true;

if(blah){
// your code
}

Around your code. E.g.

if(blah){
_root.score++;
}

And then when you want to pause, just put:

blah = false;

And when you want to unpause, do:

blah = true;

example fla

Don't listen to the other people: use this guy's advice.
on(press) {
stop();
}

That's all you need. Fuck making things difficult, this'll work perfectly.

Ur the one making things difficult here. That will just stop somin on the frame....Not the code from doing what it does.

A pause function is meant to 'stop the code' and that won't.
