CALayer leaks from UIButton

I don't know why, but I was leaking CALayer objects when I used the code:

UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] initWithframe: myCGRect];

I solved this by replacing the above code with this:

UIButton *button = [[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:myCGRect] autorelease];

If you know why this is, I'd love to hear about it.

This is the iPhone Developer's Guide, the companion to the Shockwave3D Developer's Guide, only for iPhone programming instead of Director programming. In essence, it's the site I wish I found when I started iPhone development, where I collect the solutions to the things that confused me, and which I figured out later.

Full disclosure: I'm learning this stuff as I go. If some Cocoa guru tells you I'm full of it, he's probably right. In that case, please let me know where I'm going astray.
