Stop a game scrolling

I have a game that is a basic side scrolling space shooter. But I want it to eventually stop. I have a score through dynamic text and i am wondering how i can stop the game.

don't know which code you use for the scrolling part but you could use a condition. for example:

set : stopgame= false

then in the scrolling code:

if (stopgame==false)
//scrolling code

when you want the scrolling to stop just set the var stopgame to true.

The textfield has nothing to do with it, it's just a display..

The code for the scrolling ground is.

onClipEvent (load) {
ground.duplicateMovieClip("ground2", 100);
ground2._x = ground._x+ground._width;
groundStartx = this._x;
groundSpeed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.spaceship.scrollStart == true) {
this._x -= groundSpeed;
if (this._x<=(groundStartx-ground._width)) {
this._x = groundStartx-groundSpeed; }
}
}

ok, then just set groundSpeed to 0
