I am working on a project off of someone else’s and of course people do things differently. This person put a button inside of a button and all works except I cannot get the button to trigger an action. Can someone please take a look?

Didn’t know you could put onPress events inside a button.
All good here, Thanks Iammontoya.

that was the old way of doing things, but it solves your problem.

A CR@P, one problem with this method is now all the buttons have the same action script. I need to have different code on each button, any way around this?

Ahmed, your remark solved the whole thing. Should have looked into what you said sooner.
