Or, Jason, In perhaps a more 'brain-friendly' fashion, simply create a number of buttons whose type is "transparent" -- these will respond just fine to mouse events.
How to do it? Create a button by dragging the button tool over from the tools palette to the area on your phone image; resize to fit desired area; double-click to bring up its properties palette. The current 'style' is probably set to "push-button" but using that drop-down or options type button, you can it to "transparent". Be certain to uncheck the "show name" property. Give it a name you're likely to recall (but IIRC, don't use numbers or other reserved words). HTH, Judy patron saint-in-training for newbie non-programmers.
