[scrollView addSubview:myImageView];

UIButton*playButton=[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20,20,128,128)];

//[playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"playIconPlay.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton.buttonType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

scrollView.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
myImageView.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[playButton setTitle:@"Play Click" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];


[playButton addTarget:self action:@selector(playButtonAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

@QueenSolutions:Initialize the button with buttontype and then set frame. No need to set userInteractionEnabled for imageView. — TamilKing, Oct 30 '13 at 04:34
if your imageview is not on front, then how can a touch event be passed to it?? bring your imageview to front or atleast play button to front — Salman Zaidi, Oct 30 '13 at 04:34
@QueenSolutions: If you add any TapGesture in ImageView remove it. Then dont set userInteractionEnabled:YES to imageview. Then use add your button like my ans posted in this wall. — TamilKing, Oct 30 '13 at 04:43

you can add a UIImageView and and UIButton in a UIView, hope it will help for you.

UIView* view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(75, 10, 200, 150)];

UIImageView*myImageView=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,200,150)];


myImageView.image=thumbnail;


[view addSubview:myImageView];

[scrollView addSubview:view];

UIButton*playButton=[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20,20,128,128)];

//[playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"playIconPlay.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton.buttonType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

[playButton setTitle:@"Play Click" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];


[playButton addTarget:self action:@selector(playButtonAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];


myImageView.userInteractionEnabled=YES;

[view addSubview:playButton];

UIButton*playButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

Try this.. It will work Perfectly..

[playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"playIconPlay.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton setFrame:CGRectMake(20,20,128,128)];

[playButton setTitle:@"Play Click" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[playButton addTarget:self action:@selector(playButtonAction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];


[scrollView addSubview:playButton];
[scrollView bringSubviewToFront:playButton];
