Hey all,

Just wondering how/if it is possible to do this in anyway;

```php

function finale(){
    finalFunc = "section" + _root.selectedSection
    finalFunc();
}
_root.selectedSection = 1
finale();

function section1(){trace("moo")}
function section2(){}

```

I know what i am doing is wrong, just not sure how i would go about doing it. Im such an amateur 😑

Many thanks!
