Topic awaiting preservation: variable value as new variable (Page 1 of 1)

ok so I have a variable which contains a string. Now I want that string and another string to be put together and then call the function that they make.

like this:

var blah = "home";
(somehow combine the value of blah with "Fader.fadeIn();")
(now somehow call the string that was made which would be "homeFader.fadeIn();")

well the default would be an eval

eval(blah+"Fader.fadeIn();")
but we dislike evals because they are CPU hogs

Preferable would be when you are creating your "Fader" objects you pass it some sort of var that will switch what the "fadeIn" method for that object does.

thank you, I was thinking that it was parse(); for some reason.

It's also possible that

window[blah + 'Fader'].fadeIn();

would work, but I wouldn't blame you for using eval here.
