eval statement? (Read 1240 times)

eval statement?
May 3rd, 2005, 4:15pm  
Another simple question (I hope)..

Is it possible to do the following (with a different syntax, as this one doesn't work!)

String func = "myFunc";

void myFunc(){
 ...
}

eval(func + "()");

basically to have a function name as a string and use that string to call the function.

in Actionscript:
this[func]();

Or do I have to create a case/if statement to call each function explicitly.

Thanks
Guy

You can't do that sort of thing with Processing, you'll have to write some if/switch/whatever code to chose which function to run.
