caption1, and caption2:

var statement
static statement
class someClassName{
static var name;
static function name() {
// your statements here
}
}
Specifies that a variable or function is created only once per class rather than being created in
every object based on that class.
You can access a static class member without creating an instance of the class by using the
syntax
someClassName.name. If you do create an instance of the class, you can also access a
static member using the instance, but only through a non-static function that accesses the
static member.
You can use this keyword in class definitions only, not in interface definitions.
Availability: ActionScript 2.0; Flash Player 6
Parameters
name:String - The name of the variable or function that you want to specify as static.
