• @text - The text to display on the Button.

The <button> can also accept a single <function> node as described below.

Represents a simple function that can be evaluated by your application and have access to the standard AS3 Math library and also a custom function getElementByID that accepts a single parameter which is the ID of the element and returns the element or null if no element is found. The <function> element also needs to accept the following attribute:

• @name - The name of the given function, if the name uses the keyword ONCLICK the function should be called when the parent element receives a standard MouseEvent.CLICK event.
