Just a few minutes ago I was dreading having to work out how to make a certain set of solid active objects become non solid when flipping a flag. My engine's code doesnt make it easy to do anything, or maybe i just suck.
Then It came to me, just set the scale to 0! now they're as good as gone and i can just set the scale to 1.0 to restore them!

I used qualifiers in my tests with this. Add an "OR (Filtered)" condition to all of your collision events and add the qualified objects to them.

Nice idea Yea, flags can be useful if you treat them as numbers too.
Always > Set Scale of "Active 1" to Value("Flag,0")
Also, you can multiply anything by the value of a flag to toggle between its real value and zero. Take the blocks you just mentioned, but then say that you had another event that created an object at (0,0) from the block every second (water droplets, sparks, etc) and also wanted them to stop. Setting the scale to 0 wouldn't stop this, but you could move it off the play area quite easily by including the actual value of the flag in the expression:
User pressed [key]>
Toggle Flag 0
Set X Position of "Active 1" to (-1000*Value("Flag,0"))+X("Active 1")
