String to new Function

Hello,

Is it possible to convert a string to a new function e.g.

var myNewFunction:Function;

myNewFunction = "myStringFunction(){trace('this has been called');};"

myNewFunction();

//trace Result

this has been called

Thanks in advance

Hi kglad,

When you say "not in general", do you mean it is possible?

Thanks

no.

you have to parse the string (using the flash string/array methods) and then recreate the function.
