This is from the Oscillator Relay project.

Hello, I am working out of this electronic book called “Make,” and I am attempting to do this experiment that involves a relay, a button, and two LEDs.

It's supposed to work as follows:

When button isn't pressed LED B is on and LED A is off, when the button is pressed LED B is off and LED A is on.

Here's what's actually happening in the circuit I made:

When button isn't pressed LED B is on and LED A is off, when the button is pressed LED B is off and LED A is off.

Please tell me where my mistake is. One thing that may matter is the experiment calls for a 2-prong button switch and I'm using a different kind of switch because I don't have a 2-prong button switch.
