Invoke a method

Hi, how can I dynamically call a method? Let's say, I have a
method doSomething(), textfield and a button. User writes
doSomethig() into the textfield a press the button. How to assign
this method to the click event handler of a button ? thanks

I'm not sure exactly why you want to do this (please
enlighten us!!!), but this may help:
Because I need to dynamically create buttons by user where
user (during creating) can assign some predefined functions
(string) which are executed by flex then. That's the reason why I
wanted to assign this "string function" directly to the event
listener of the button.

Did you try to create a standard listener function and then call
your method from this listener ?
There is a problem 'cos every button can have any function so
every button has to have different event listener.
But I've solved this problem, I have only one event listener
for all the buttons, but I have extended button class for one
property... name of the function to invoke :)
