Dynamically call a function

For the project I'm working on, I need to dynamically call one of several functions (which are dynamically named by asp.net). How do I call a function when I have the function name in a string? A case statement is not an option, because the function names are dynamic.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function function1() {
  2.    ...
  3. }
  4. function function2() {
  5.     ...
  6. }
  7. var functionName = 'function1'
  8.  
...what next?

How do I execute the function whose name is stored in functionName?

Thanks

when the functions are declared in the window-scope then you might use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. window['yourFunctionName']();
to call the function.

kind regards

Thanks. I figured there was a pretty easy way to do it.
