Virtual buttonText Error

[Samsan]

Hey all, I'm rather new to lua and am trying to figure out what went wrong with the scrollframe. I managed to get data to display long enough to set column text alignments, however not all of the factions showed up, neither did the header text and scroll didn't scroll and then I received the error ..

Message: ..\AddOns\MyMod\MyMod.lua line 128:
attempt to index local 'buttonText' (a nil value)
Any help at all would be appreciated...thx
