A bug in LUA Scripting when locating a GUI button?[closed]

When I was busy with my Menu, but when I ran it through a server it encountered a problem. First I will tell you where everything. I lay out my GUI like so:

Menu    (ScreenGui)
    LocalScript
    A   (About Button)
    N   (News Button) -----Where the problem is
    P   (Play Button)

But when I run a server it keeps saying, "N is not a valid member of ScreenGui". And it says its on Line "5"

Here is my script to locate "N"

--//Variables

Play = script.Parent.P
About = script.Parent.A
News = script.Parent.N ---- Here. Its going out of the script, to the Screen GUI and then into N.
click = game.Workspace.clicksound
hover = game.Workspace.hoversound
NGame = script.Parent.P.Frame.NG
CGame = script.Parent.P.Frame.CG

--//script
--And then My script is down here.

Did you forget to capitalize the N in the screengui? Is it in the right spot? My_Comment 95 — 9y

Try adding "WaitForChild("")" to the end of your variables, sometimes the script will load in before any variables have been loaded.

An example would be:

News = script.Parent:WaitForChild("N")

I'l Try that Myaxp 3 — 9y
