Creating Closed Captions that do NOT dissappear and finding an alternative

Question

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to allow closed captions to continue displaying after the audio has ended on a slide in BOTH captivate 3 &/or 4? The text in the captions dissapear after the audio has completed.
Also is there a way to modify/skin the caption box?
The reason I'm asking is because of the way our projects are designed. We want the user to stay on the same slide until the forward button on the playbar has been clicked. This is easily done with having a "Pause project" click box on each slide.
We used to have a text caption that's identical to the audio that stays on permanently on each slide but we want to move away from that.
I have also tried to use buttons in captivate 4 to show/hide a text caption (with the name"bodyText"). I created 2 buttons to do this.
The "Show Text" button has advanced actions to :-
a) rdcmndPause = 1;
b) Show the "bodyText" caption
c) Show the "Hide Text" button
d) Hide the "Show Text" button
e) rdcmndPause = 1;
The "Hide Text" button  does:-
a) rdcmndPause = 1;
b) Hide the "bodyText" caption
c) Show the "Show Text" button
d) Hide the "Hide Text" button
e) rdcmndPause = 1;
That works BUT clicking on the "Show Text" button plays the slide and ignores the following:-
a) Multiple "Pause project" click box. These were placed before & after the button was paused on the timeline.
b) _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;  swf's I've inserted. These were placed before & after the button was paused on the timeline as well.
This is VERY annoying as the slide keeps playing and will eventually show the next slide. Which is NOT AT ALL what we want.
Another method I have tried is to wrap the captivate file into a flash "loader". All this flash file is to do a Load Movie with the captivate into a target movieClip called "container".  With this "container", I've used an imported AS2 flash player 9 "hideText" swf  that has a "Show/Hide text" button in it:-
All this "hideText" swf has on a single frame is:-
textHidden=false;
_root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
hideText.onRelease=function() {
    if (textHidden==false) {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _parent.bodyText._visible = false;
    textHidden=true;
    } else {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _parent.bodyText._visible = true;
stop();
also tried this first:-
textHidden=false;
_root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
hideText.onRelease=function() {
    if (textHidden==false) {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.bodyText._visible = false;
    textHidden=true;
    } else {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.bodyText._visible = true;
stop();
Both didn't work. Am I targeting the text caption incorrectly here?
if anybody can spare some time, I need help to achieve a solution please?

I also agree with your suggestions but posting them here on this forum is of very little use.
If you want any chance of having them taken seriously by Adobe, this is where you need to post them:
