Description

Stops all coroutines named methodName running on this behaviour.

Please note that only StartCoroutine using a string method name can be stopped using StopCoroutine.

	// In this example we show how to invoke a coroutine using a string name and stop it

function Start () { StartCoroutine("DoSomething", 2.0); yield WaitForSeconds(1); StopCoroutine("DoSomething"); }

function DoSomething (someParameter : float) { while (true) { print("DoSomething Loop"); // Yield execution of this coroutine and return to the main loop until next frame yield; } }
