Why is the click event not firing?

sendButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    print'clicked'
    NewM(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent, messageBox.Text)
    messageBox.Text = 'Message'
end)

"clicked" is never printed, NewM is a valid function, and the message box's text is not changed. I haven't scripted in a while so I'm not sure about the MouseButton1Click event or anything.

Sorry to say, but you messed up an event. MouseButton1Click is not a real event. Please consider this code to replace the above :)

sendButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function ()
    print 'clicked'
    NewM(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent, messageBox.Text)
    messageBox.Text = 'Message'
end)

Ah. I think I was using the click detector event. GoldenPhysics 474 — 9y

Well, actually, the 'MouseButton1Click' event is on the WIKI, and is a real event. :P And, Golden, 'MouseClick' is the event for a 'Click Detector' type instance, 'MouseButton1Click' fires when you click on a GUI type instance [TextButton, ImageButton]. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 9y
