eval or something like it

[hard_overclocker]

Hi there,
I have an XML menu and I would like to be able to execute a function on a particular button click. (the function name will come from xml). I belive this could be achived with eval in AS2.
Any ideea how to do this ?

Hi,
you can push functions into an Array:

var functions:Array=new Array();

function go():void
{
	trace('go');
}

functions.push(go);
functions[0]();

If your XML value=='go' then functions[0]();

Hey gwulfwud,
.push is pretty strightforward, all it does is to add the item (object, function, whatever) to an array (on the last position).

the_array.push(item)

so let's say i have an xml based mp3 player..
my current song is on [1]...if i want the next song [2] to play by clicking a button then i need that push where? after the MOUSE_UP event ? or during the event where the music's url are being generated? a bit confused with this xml thing..
