Hi Bec
Give this a go:
<cfset objScribble = createObject("component","scribble") >
<cfoutput>#objScribble.fDynamic('helloworld2')#</cfoutput>
<cfcomponent >
<cffunction name="fDynamic" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="fName">
<!--- note how i put it into a variable first ---> <cfset myFunct
= this[Arguments.fName] >
<cfreturn myFunct() >
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="helloWorld1" returntype="string">
<cfreturn "hello world 1">
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="helloWorld2" returntype="string">
<cfreturn "hello world 2" >
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Cheers
Pat

Hey all.
Does anyone know how i can dynamically call functions from within a
component?
For example, i want to be able to do something like:
<cfset function_name = "myFunction">
<cfset this[function_name]()>
This should be the same as if i called
<cfset this.myFunction()>
This is not the right syntax, does anyone know what the correct syntax is?
I'm sure i could use an eval, but i'm of the opinion that eval is a bit
fugly.
Cheer bec.
