Hi There … I have a list of functions inside an array.

I want to pull out the names of these functions as they are written in the array, and display them through the trace.

Easy? All I get is a ‘type function’ …  
from what I thought would be as simple as this:::

```auto
var func_ary:Array = new Array(doThis, StartMe, etc);
trace(String(func_ary[2]));

```

Any ideas …? Thanks
