Glad it fixed your problem. Yes I forgot one small correction when I suggested the callback change. It is still preferable and supported to give the actual callable function object instead of a string. The reason is that they dont have to be global scope functions. They will get bound as objects. What you do need to do is modify your signatures to expect arguments. Maya will send a value when it runs your callback usually indicating the state of the UI object. For buttons its always False.
def getFloor(*args): def freeze(*args): *args just means "any number of params". Now maya can pass its value and your functions will receive them. You can simply not do anything with args.
