-Used the new movie.getinput() function to simplify parse(), now frames().

--TODO: Disallow Reset, Lag, and other non-buttons. Pause?
--If this works like adelikat says, my missing load state idea will be possible.
-Made the loading information show up on the console instead of the gui.

Note: Still need savestate.registersave/load!
