one thing i’ve noticed with the hover caption tutorial on this site is that if you hold the mouse button down when a caption appears you can drag it all over the stage and it remains visible…

why would anyone hold the mouse button down? good question but i actually used hover captions for a client who found out about it… i don’t think it’s a big deal but they did ask me to try to remedy it.
