I am trying to run different functions from the values taken from an array. This is part of a game so that enemies can have different moves, and dirrections.

I was trying to use the script:  
arrayName = [“value1”,“value2”,value3"];

value1 = function(){  
//code here  
};

value2 = function(){  
//code here  
};

value3 = fucntion(){  
//code here  
};

arrayNamerandom(2);

But this doesnt do anything, dont think flash allows variables to be used to run functions.

If any one knows how I can do this with out a list of if commands, I want to be able to use a long array.

thank you
