calling javascript function using array values

What i’m trying to do is use an array or variable to call a particular function. I know that I could use a switch statement to do this, however I would like to find out if it is also possible this way.

[code=php]
<script>
function test1() {
alert(‘test1’);
}

function test2() {
alert(‘test2’);
}

myArray = new Array();
myArray[0] = “test1”;
myArray[1] = “test2”;

// I really thought this would work, but it didn’t
myArray[0]();
</script>
[/code]
