Hi,
Is there an easy way to construct a function call out of a function and
an array of actual arguments?
e. g. given a function `fun' and an array [1,2,3]
I need to obtain equivalent of `fun(1,2,3)'
`fun' is not a method of any object, just a function. Can `apply' be
used for this purpose?
I'd like to avoid using `eval' although it might be possible to
construct a string and evaluate it.
Thanks for any ideas. 4 1969 go********@gmail.com wrote:

Hi,
This may be very obvious, but why not pass the array to fun and let fun pick
the values out?
Like this:
var funArr = new Array(1,2,3);
fun(funArr);
function fun(theArr){
var arg1 = theArr[0];
var arg2 = theArr[1];
var arg3 = theArr[2];
// go on here with arg1, arg2, arg3
}
Or will that not work in your situation?

Yes, as long as you know what you want to set for the this operator:
function x(){
for (var i=0, len=arguments.length; i<len; i++){
alert(arguments[i]);
}
}
var y = [1, 2, 3];
x.apply(this, y);
Sets this to the global/window object and alerts 1, then 2, then 3.
Note that the apply method is not supported in IE 5.0 (and probably
some other early browsers too).

Possibly because the call method allows you to use the arguments object
of one function as the parameters in the call to another function:
function x(){
y.call(this, arguments);
}
function y(){
/* arguments is whatever was passed to x() */
}
x(arg1, arg2, ... argN);
But that is just a guess :-)

Agghhh, what was I on? I meant apply of course.
function x(){
y.apply(this, arguments);
}
