The Block Class
The Block class implements ability to keep Actors out of certain areas on the screen without controls being added to the picture. In particular they are the only way of preventing an Actor who is allowed to have his baseRect off the bottom of the screen from walking into something, since the Actor's baseRect will not encounter any blocking controls.

dispose:
Delete the Block from the set of blocks for the current room and dispose of it if it is a dynamic instance.
enable:
Set the active property of the Block to TRUE, so that Actors cannot enter it.
