If your rolling numbers are in the same comp as the text blocks then yes but I thought you had precomped the text blocks without the rolling numbers which means that the rolling numbers are outside the text block comp.

Your code looks okay to me. Did you remember to give the new button an instance name? Is your code in frame one?
In any case, I added another button to my code and posted the new version (which works) online.
