I would recommend you set the icon of a button rather than actually moving
the images about. It would allow you to store the images anywhere and you
wouldn't have to worry about setting them back to their original positions
between times. Use the formattedWidth and formattedHeight properties of the
button to set the width and height. E.g.:
lock screen
set the icon of btn 1 myImageIDHere
set the width of btn 1 to the formattedWidth of btn 1
set the height of btn 1 to the formattedHeight of btn 1
set the loc of btn 1 to the loc of this card --optional, places button
--in middle of card
unlock screen
