Stop collision from happening once alien has been shot at.

In the space invaders example, if instead of killing the alien you add it to a new group and change the sprite. The score does not increase when you shoot the now dead alien, but you CAN still shoot it. I think this is because the explosion is set up on the invader sprite (forEach(setUpInvader... 

    explosions = game.add.group();    explosions.createMultiple(30, 'kaboom');    explosions.forEach(setupInvader, this);

and setUpInvader :

function setupInvader (invader) {    invader.anchor.x = 0.5;    invader.anchor.y = 0.5;    invader.animations.add('kaboom');}

i'm turning my deadAliens into flowers. But once I've done that, and put the deadAliens into a new group, you can still shoot at them because .... why?  

Is there some way I can just disable collision from happening once they've been shot at once?

well, I tried this.

sprite.overlap.stop(null, true);

It didn't work

You can just set body.enable to false. Take a look at this example for the full code: http://phaser.io/examples/v2/arcade-physics/body-enable
