Question

Combine Roll Over Caption and Click Box?

Hi all,
I wonder if anybody can solve this problem please.

I am creating an interactive simulation to familarize users with a clients new web app.
For each button, I have created a roll over caption (which describes the button when rolled over). I have also put a click box in the exact same place. When clicked, it takes the user to a different slide which shows the effects of the click.
After the user is done with the slide, I have created a button which wil take them back to the original slide.

The problem is, on going back to the original slide, the rollover caption still appear on screen. It disappears eventually after a user rolls over and out of the button.
I have figured out that it must be because:
1)the user rolls over the area and the caption appears
2)if he rolls out, then it disappears
3)BUT if the user rolls over the hotspot and clicks the click box, then the Rollover caption never registers the mouse rolling out of the hotspot, because the presentation jumps to another slide.

So when you return to the original slide, the caption remains. As I said, it disappears eventually but looks very unprofessional.

Please please can anybody help? This is driving me crazy! Is there any way around it at all?
