Re: [Flashcoders] Reach a single attribute value on a XML node withxpath AS3

2009-06-30 Thread Mark Mulhollam 
Hi all,

   I want to run a function like onSaveFile()  where I create onSaveFile
from some variables ala:

on + event.target.name + anotherVariable  = onSaveFile

I tried Function (on + event.target.name + anotherVariable )( )  but error
says Function not supported to do that.

The string creation works but how to execute that string as a function since
eval has been removed from Flash?

Are you using AS2 or AS3?

I believe for as2 you would use:

function onSaveFile() {
//do something code here
}

then call on the function:
Eg:

saveFile_btn.onPress = function() {
onSaveFile();
};

I think Mark is looking for a way to invoke a function call with a string.
The fastest is to use bracket notation:

Assuming you have the function defined in the scope of this, you can invoke
the function like this:

this[on + event.target.name + anotherVariable]();

I'm not sure I would use this technique/architecture myself.
