Arrays and Functions

[Matt]

I have an array which contains the names of functions (a1() and a2()) and
a function is randomly picked. My problem is that the function name is stored
in a variable (choosescript) and I cannot work out how to run the function.
Here is the script:

function mine() {
var scriptlist = new Array;
var choosescript;
scriptlist[0] = "a1"
scriptlist[1] = "a2"
choosescript = scriptlist[Math.floor(Math.random() * scriptlist.length)];

Any ideas please?

if (choosescript.equals("a1")) a1();
if (choosescript.equals("a2")) a2();

There are other ways to do this, but they would require more changes.
