hopefully the easiest question on here which, sadly , i cant comprehend…  
I’m learning OOP with AS 2.0  
and I’m running into a slight problem, when I used the regular button component in mx 2004 I’m able to do this within my class and get my button to do what its suppose to:

```auto
var my_button : mx.controls.Button;
var my_button_eh : Object = new Object();

```

However I do not want to use the mx button… i want to use my custom created button. what is the syntax for regular buttons? Can anyone help? hopefully my this question is clear 🙂

thanks for any help prgived
