Help with sending message

Questions

I am trying to unload my menu collection by sending a message “killmenu” to a script however whenever I run the code I get an error: “Component ‘/go#loader’ could not be found when dispatching message ‘killmenu’ sent from menu:/main_menu#menu”
Does anyone know what I have done wrong? thanks
Code in my gui script:

if action_id == hash("touch") and gui.pick_node(self.button, action.x, action.y) then
		msg.post("go#loader", "killmenu")	
		msg.post("level_loader#level_loader_script", "load")
	end

Code in the loader script:

function init(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
	msg.post("#collectionproxy", "load")
	msg.post("#collectionproxy", "init")
	msg.post("#collectionproxy", "enable")
end


function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
	if message_id == hash("killmenu") then
		msg.post("#collectionproxy", "unload")
	end
	if message_id == hash("proxy_loaded") then
		msg.post(sender, "init")
		msg.post(sender, "enable")
	end
end

You could add pprint(msg.url()) to somewhere in loader.script see what its url is.
I guess your collectionproxy is in a game object and your gui script is in another game object. Sometimes you should use an absolute url like main:/go#loader

Thank you, using the absolute url fixed the issue for me.
