Hey Joker, A method is just a property of an object. You can access any property using either dot notation (i.e.: foo.property) or square brackets (i.e.: foo[property]). So you could do this:
foo.myMethod(); // common way to call the method var methName = 'myMethod'; foo[methName](); // call with method name in a variable. In your circumstances I would skip this and use an iterator to loop through your array instead of a for loop. Prototype offers a number of iterators optimized for specific uses. I would use the "invoke" iterator: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/enumerable/invoke In your example you could do this: myArr.invoke('coolFunction', 'Hello World'). Notice that doing it this way you don't have to pass "Hello World" in two sets of quotes like you do in the example below. This iterator has the benefit that the code is smaller and more readable. It also has the added benefit that it can pass non-string arguments to the method being called. In this situation $F wouldn't help because you aren't dealing with form fields. -- Ben On May 13, 8:05 am, ferion <fer...@gmx.de> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > i got a working function which fires a method on all objects (classes) > with given parameters. > > Simplified i'm using the following code > > myClass = new Class( > { > coolFunction: function (arg) > { > alert(arg); > } > > }); > > myArr[0] = new myClass(); > myArr[1] = new myClass(); > > function fireArrayObjectsFunctions(funcName,myArgs) > { > for (var i=0; i<myArr.length;i++) > { > var callString = "myArr["+i+"]."+funcName+"("+myArgs+")"; > eval(callString); > } > > } > > fireArrayObjectsFunctions('coolFunction','"Hello World"'); > > This sort of works but i want to get rid of the evalfunction an the > stringhandling. > Anybody got an Idea how to solve this wis $F or other > prototypefunction? > > Thanks > Joker > > P.S. > Please excuse my lack of proper english. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
