I can’t seem to figure this out. I made some text and converted it to a button. Left alone it doesn’t seem to reigster as a button, so I added a rectangle to the hit area that’s about the same of the text, still nothing. The only way I can get it to register as a button is if I move the hit area away from the text. How do I make text into a button?
