Try adding

on (press) {  
\_root.x = 0;  
\_root.caption.words = " ";  
}

to the button. I am guessing that this will get rid of your caption after you click it. Although untested, it seems like it should work. I think the problem with your button is that when you click it, the button disappears, so theres nothing to rollOut of, so the text stays there, where is, with the on(press) code it should remove the captions when you click, instead of rollOut.

Hope this helps!
