How to call non-global functions by name?

[ngollon]

Hi!

I've got the following problem.
Suppose the string f contains the name of a function. If f is a global function, I can call ist via the environment _G. Like

f = "UnitHealth"
health = _G[f]("player"),

but if f is a function, like all these functions in Ace Addons, this does not seem to work, i.e.:

f = "sRaidFrames.Print"
_G[f]("Hello World!")

returns an error. Is there a way to make this work? =)
I hope I've made my problem clear. Please don't ask me, why I'd want to do that. I want it =)

Thanks much!

A function in an ace addon is really just a function in a table.

You can call a table function just like globals, but without the _G.

it'll be something like sRaidFrames["Print"]("Hello World");
