    you kinda lost me there...

    the way I'm sure the flash works is that the grid is premade and is a single image. The button outlines are not actually part of a button, but have been predrawn on a separate layer.

    On dates that have content, a movie clip w/ accompanying button is placed where the lines are. buttons/movie clips can be created and placed via actionscript or placed manually by hand. either way, they can be positions exactly within the borders of the button outlines.

    in other words, the appearance of a button is separated from the button symbol.
