call functions dynamically

[turbomerl]

i am having some trouble calling functions dynamically.

i want to load data into pages as they are called. i therefore have a function
called initialisePage(pageName). i want to use this function in turn to call
initialisation functions for each page. these functions are called
firstContent(), secondContent(), thirdContent() etc... i have tried the syntax
eval(pageName+"Content()"); inside the initialisePage() function, but it
doesn't work. what am i doing wrong?

thanks.

can you make use of this approach ?

function firstContent(){ trace("1st"); };
function secondContent(){ trace("2nd"); };

var1 = "first";
var2 = "second";
func = "Content"

F1 = this[var1+func];
F1();

F2 = this[var2+func];
F2();

Variable _level0.firstContent = [function 'firstContent']
Variable _level0.secondContent = [function 'secondContent']
Variable _level0.var1 = "first"
Variable _level0.var2 = "second"
Variable _level0.func = "Content"
Variable _level0.F1 = [function 'firstContent']
Variable _level0.F2 = [function 'secondContent']

hth ?

fwiw - (in MX)
F1 = this[var1+func]();
// this fires the trace OK, but the Variable Output is now -
// Variable _level0.F1 = undefined

go figure ?? can anyone out there provide enligtenment ?
