None of the answers above worked for me.

Noting that we are 10.5 years on from the original post the chances are JS have evolved.

My solution is:

window[action[functionName]]();

A solution tailored to the original question is as follows:

var action = ['test1','test2'];


function test1(){
   alert("test 1 running");
}

function test2(){
    alert("test 2 running");
}

for (var i=0; i<action.length; i++){
    window[action[i]]();
}

Expected output is an alert box saying "test 1 running" followed by another alert box saying "test 2 running".

obj[action[functionname]](); will do the trick.

You should be able to do this.

obj[action[functionName]]();
