Hi there!  
I have a variable in the \_root called section.  
Now I want to call hemmaAnimation(); within a the global function (see below).  
So I set the section variable to hemma & tried these:

\_global.sectionAnimation = function(){  
thissection+“Animation”;

};

\_global.sectionAnimation = function(){  
“section”+Animation();

};

\_global.sectionAnimation = function(){  
\_root.section+“Animation”();

};

But no luck…  
Any suggestions?
