Doesn't find the gui even tho it's there?

I made an GUI opening button:

local frame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    frame.Visible = true
end)

but I get this error:

ScreenGui is not a valid member of PlayerGui

The name of the GUI's frame I want to make invisible is:

ScreenGui

You can use the Operation such as :WaitForChild() and :FindFirstChild()

local ScreenGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

local frame = ScreenGui:FindFirstChild("Frame")



script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   frame.Visible = true
end)

maybe use :findFirstChild() or :WaitForChild() like this

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ScreenGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
local frame = ScreenGui:WaitForChild("Frame")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    frame.Visible = true
end)
