Is it possible to animate a UIButton to fade or slide off the screen?

I have been browsing SO and various othe开发者_C百科r sites to find out whether this is possible, it definitely seems to be!

The problem I have is every "tutorial" seems to state that the UIButton needs to be inside a UIView of some kind and I can't quite figure out how to get the XIB together to allow the animation.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
