so even if you do something like the following it doesn't work? Does the "Sanity check!" message display?

Code: WME Script
  1.  
  2. on "button1" {
  3.  
  4. Game.Msg("Sanity check!");
  5.  
  6. var button2 = this.CreateButton("button2");
  7. button2.X = this.Width * 0.5;
  8. button2.Y = this.Height * 0.5;
  9.  
  10. button2.Width = 200;
  11. button2.Height = 100;
  12.  
  13. button2.Text = "I am a button";
  14. button2.Visible = true;
  15.  
  16. }
  17.  
  18.

  4. Game.Msg("Sanity check!");
  5.  
  6. var button2 = this.CreateButton("button2");
  7. button2.X = this.Width * 0.5;
  8. button2.Y = this.Height * 0.5;
  9.  
  10. button2.Width = 200;
  11. button2.Height = 100;
  12.  
  13. button2.Text = "I am a button";
  14. button2.Visible = true;
  15.  
  16. }
  17.  
  18. on "button2" {
  19.  
  20. Game.Msg("Sanity check!");
  21.  
  22. var delete = this.DeleteButton("buttno2");
  23.

if this code is actual, you have a few problems:

var delete = this.DeleteButton("buttno2"); //note a typo (buttno)

I am not sure you can delete button by name, correct way is:

Code: WME Script
  1.  
  2. var btn = this.GetControl("button2");
  3. this.DeleteButton(btn);
  4.  
  5.

Also when creating the button, set its ParentNotify property to true, so that it sends events to the window.

Code: WME Script
  1. button2.ParentNotify = true;
  2.
