First off, I am still a complete noob in flash. I don't know what a mask is.
Second, because I don't want any sound, plus I still don't know how to import it.

(I'm using Macromedia Flash, if that helps... >.>)

Mask is not only flash term, in GameMaker I always work with variables and sprites. Mask is, roughly, an invisible underlevel of drawing. Mask defines sprite's area and character of interaction. For example, if I want square act like circle, I will change its mask's form to circle. Your button's mask is too high, I recommend you to shift mask's center in upper position.
And about flash, I'm more noob than you in that area.

Oh, and now that I figured out what you're talking about, it's not because there's a problem with the mask. It's because I accidently turned the text into a movie clip separately with the box behind it, and I didn't copy the code to the text. >>

Oh, that's the key! You could glue text with box and apply code to this new object.

And what? I'm not a gamemaker, so I would have no idea what that means. Basically all of the coding here I copied from some tutorial. >.>

I'm not game maker, I'm user of program named GameMaker v8.0; term "mask" is also used in drawing with Photoshop, you can regulate layer borders with it. Graphical mask is used everywhere, so sometimes you must manipulate with masks.
