First set the text object in the library to be exported for actionscript (right click and click on properties).

Then change the code to this:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showText);
var _text:myText = new myText();

function showText(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.addChild(_text);
_text.x = 100;
_text.y = 100;
button.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showText);
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideText);
}

function hideText(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.removeChild(_text);
button.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideText);
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showText);
}
stop();

Should work.
