Appcelerator Titanium: Create system/icon buttons without placing on toolbar

Question

Is there a way to create System buttons (or "image/icon" buttons) in Appcelerator Titanium without having to place them on a toolbar? I would like to just be able to place them on a regular view. As an alternative, I can just create ImageViews, but I lose the built-in animations when doing that. I'm hoping I'm just missing something.

Try this:

var button = Titanium.UI.createButton({
title: 'Some Title',
top:175,
left:5,
width: 190,
height: 35,
font:{fontSize:14},
image: 'img/some_img.png' });

then: Titanium.UI.currentWindow.add(button);

Hope it can help !!
Cheers
