Hi

Does anyone know how in actionscript 3.0 I can do a variable function/method call.

eg.

instead of

example();

something like

“example”; //which does not work!

I dont really want to use a select - case as the specified function/method that calls the variable function name is used many times.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks
