can't figure out how to call a function using a variable for its name..

[Tea_J]

Hi

basically, i want to call a function from within a function using a variable representing its name...

eg

i have 3 functions

funcA()
funcB()
funcC()


i need to call that from a function....

runFunction = function(functionName){
_root.eval(functionName);
}


so I'd call it like

runFunction("funcA()");


i've been tryin to figure this out for quite some time now since FLASH MX , i just kept abandoning a solution.. and now i'm once again in need of this , still cant solve it so im postin...

i really hope this is possible.. would save me a lot of work.. hehe

regards

Ensure your functions are on the root timeline and:

function runFunction(functionName){
_root[functionName]();
}

Addendum to virual's code: Give it the string value for the function name, no parenthesis.

// This won't work
runFunction("funcA()");

// This will
runFunction("funcA");
