Problem:  
I want to be able to run functions in a certain order from an array. The code below is a non-fat version of what I want to accomplish. The problem appears when the function(scream\_name) runs. Flash makes the passed variables into one variabel; sname = “John”, “Doe” and lname = undefined.

Anyone?

```auto

 
function run_func(func,vars){
  func_ready = func(vars);
}
 
function scream_name(sname,lname){
  trace(sname add " " add lname);
  return true;
}
 
functions_ = new Array(
 [scream_name, ["John","Doe"] ]
)
 
run_func(functions_[0][0],functions_[0][1]);
 

```

but waht you have already is useful, just a different trace  
function run\_func(func, vars) {  
func\_ready = func(vars);  
}  
function scream\_name(name) {  
trace(name[0] add " " add name[1]);  
return true;  
}  
functions\_ = new Array([scream\_name, [“John”, “Doe”]]);  
run\_func(functions\_[0][0], functions\_[0][1]);

maybe you could incluse the timeline as well  
function run\_func(func, vars, obj) {  
func\_ready = objfunc;  
}  
function scream\_name(name) {  
trace(name[0] add " " add name[1]);  
return true;  
}  
functions\_ = new Array([“scream\_name”, [“John”, “Doe”], _root]);  
run\_func(functions_[0][0], functions\_[0][1], functions\_[0][2]);

Hmm, that is how I have my code now. I’ll do it like that, even if I really wanted a script wich only passed the correct number of variables needed.

thanks
