Holding an image on the stage

Is there any way to show a text box with FlashEff and then keep it on the stage until the user clicks to another area of the site, but still make the text box use a hide transition? On my site the navigation works fine and I can keep items up until clicked away, but only if I don't use the hide effect.

I guess I am asking if there is a way to freeze an animation in the stage between the show and hide animations until the user takes an actions besides just using the timing option.

he solution is quite simple: use one instance of FlashEff for the show effect and once it's over, it leaves the text visible. When you navigate to a different part of your site, use another FlashEff instance to apply the hide effect.
