Actionscript equivalent to PHP's create_function()

Question

I was wondering if actionscript had something equivalent to PHP's create_function. Specifically, the ability to create a function from a string is what I am looking for.

Answer 1

ActionScript 3 does not natively support an eval() function (which is what you're looking for), but there are several libraries which provide it.
