ActionManager Class

Module: cc

cc.ActionManager is a class that can manage actions.
Normally you won't need to use this class directly. 99% of the cases you will use the CCNode interface, which uses this class's singleton object. But there are some cases where you might need to use this class.
Examples:

• When you want to run an action where the target is different from a CCNode.
  
• When you want to pause / resume the actions
