[Laszlo-user] Dynamically call in runtime a set of actions

[P T Withington]

If you know the name of a method, say "methodX", you can invoke it on  
a view by:

view1["methodX"](...);

Is that helpful?

You might also want to read about the history mechanism, which can be  
used to save/restore the state of an application.
