Greetings,

I have come across this problem before, but is it possible to build an array that simply has a list of functions in it and then when I call a section of that array functionList[2] it executes the function?

I am building a button that I want to essentially cycle through functions. I know there are other ways around this, like placing each function on a different keyframe and cycling through frames, but that is a little too Flash 5 for me.

I have been able to execute a function inside the array as follows but I really need to be able to do other things when I call the function inside the array:

myFunctionArray=[do\_a\_bunch\_of\_stuff\_1 , do\_a\_bunch\_of\_stuff\_2 , do\_a\_bunch\_of\_stuff\_3];  
bt\_next.onPress = myFunctionArray[2];

I need to be able to do something like:

bt\_next.onPress = function(){  
nextFunction ++  
myFunctionArray[nextFunction]  
}

Is it possible to call functions from an array? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
