You can use actionscript on the frame where the button instances appear.
See below.

#  Example Script

.flash bbox=320x240 fps=30 version=6 compress background=#CCCCCC
    
 .box box1 70 32 color=black fill=blue
 .box box2 70 32 color=black fill=red
 
 .button mybutton1
    .show box1 as=idle
    .show box1 as=area
    .show box2 as=pressed 1 1
    .show box2 as=hover
 .end
    
 .frame 1
 .put b1=mybutton1 20 20
 .put b2=mybutton1 100 20

 .action:
  //test functions
  b1.onPress = function(){ this._y+=5; }; 
  b2.onPress = function(){ this._y+=5; };
 .end

.end
