Assigning a Behavior

You assign a button as the behavior of another control by setting the control's behavior property to the long id of the button (1). Now any changes you make to the script of the button will alter how the control behaves since you are essentially changing the script assigned to the control.

For example, if the button (2) has an openField handler defined in its script then when openField is sent to the field (3) that code would be executed.
