I’d like a generic function that can take:  
a) object/array containing various classed items  
b) method to run on them

i.e.:

```auto

var itemA = new Item();
var itemB = new Item();

var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.itemA = itemA;
obj.itemB = itemB;

doFuncOnChildren(obj,"someFunction()");

private function doFuncOnChildren(obj,func) {
     for each (var child:* in obj) {
          //do function on child here, using the argument func
          //...i.e. would eval to child.someFunction();
     }
}

```
