I need help understanding a function

1

Hello,

I’m walking in to someone else’s code and I have no idea how to fix this…

The idea is that you are supposed to click a button (my_photos) and it should load images off a server based on a login. According to this code, my_photos calls function myClick onRelease. This is where I think the issue is, but I’m not sure.

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
