Watch the video there and have a bit of a read. This should help : )
I exported my buttons at size 768x348...Then in GameSalad in Actors I changed size to 768x348. Then I dragged the actor
into the scene and resized it to 280x86...and now it is again unsharpe

If you want a button that is 280 x 86 - then make your artwork 280 x 86.
Don't make it bigger and then resize it down, doing that will not make it sharper, you will just screw up the anti-aliasting, Gamesalad is not great at scaling images down, it seems to do a 'nearest neighbour' interpolation so images scaled down can look bad.
Also by making your button so big - and then scaling it down, you waste memory by having an unnecessarily large file size.
Try to see if you can make it to 256
And yes make the buttons smaller 756 is way to big
