Flash Buttons - Onclick display text

Question

Hello,
I have a total of 5 separate buttons in my flash document. I want to have a user to be able to click the button and have it display some sort of text near the button itself. How do I get the text to stay once a button is clicked and disappear when another button is clicked? I dont want to use the hit method because the text will contain hyperlinks that I want the user to be able to click on. Any help would be appreciated.

var tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(tf);
// add button listener's with listener function onClick
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
tf.x=e.currentTarget.x+e.currentTarget.width;  // depends on your buttons' reg points
tf.y=e.currentTarget.y;  ""
tf.text =whatever
// whatever else
