Using a transparent image as the skin is cleanest and easiest. The "skins" array in Button.as is private, so you'd have to subclass; in order to get to those display objects. You can partially trick the button with myButton.mx_internal::currentSkin.alpha = 0, but that's a real hack; not to mention unsupported. Setting the colors the same as the background doesn't create a re-usable solution; as the background might be an image or gradient. So, while its fun to extend, for something like this, I'd just use a transparent image there as the skin and be done with it.
