Re: [Flashcoders] trying to call a function passed as an argument

You can't pass a reference to a method call like you seem to be trying to do by 'bar.doLast'. You *can* pass functions around, but not object methods -- they no longer know what object they are supposed to act on. See: var a:Array = [1, 2, 3]; a.shift(); // a = [2, 3]; var shiftMethod:Function

Try something like this: ... doFirst( "hello", "world", bar, "doLast" ); ... public function doFirst( aS:String, bS:String, o:Object, m:String ) { trace("the first string is "+aString); // call the second function here ??? a[ method ].apply( a, ... args... ); } ~neo ps: Interesting

if the function-param in public function doFirst(aString:String, bString:String, aFunction:Function) is a good reference to an existing function you don't need to use the call() to execute aFunction you can just use public function doFirst(aString:String, bString:String,aFunction:Function)

This is how I do it: var functA:Function = function(){ trace("A"); } var functB:Function = function(){ trace("B"); } function performFunctions(funct:Function){ funct(); } performFunctions(functA); performFunctions(functB); Doug Coning Senior Web Development Programm
