func ready():
$Button.connect('pressed',self, 'performAction')
func performAction():
$Button.performActions()
ok so from my Panel node, i can call a function in my Button just fine but to call a function in a Panel from the button it is not possible with the same approach. so i guess to call a function in the parent is different but i don't know how to do it. it must have something to do with the .. system. still trying to google it but have not found any luck
