108 Button component
You can also create the button and assign the label entirely in ActionScript using the method
UIObject.createClassObject(). First drag the Button component from the Components
panel to the current document’s library, so the component appears in the library, but not on
the Stage. Then, in the first frame of the main timeline, add the following ActionScript:
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Button, "my_button", 1, {label: "Test
Button"});
