Disable key cursors?

Is there a way to disable the input of cursor keys for a couple seconds? I guess it should be like freezing a specific actor for just a couple of seconds... but without using the pause block. The game should keep on running .

Use a boolean. See the attached example.

Thanks Jeffrey. I'll try it as boolean!

I still surprising me that always is a boolean... O.O

Thx for the answer.

Booleans are amazingly useful.
