I believe I understand the programming structure you want to make.

But let me just clarify.

Do you mean place the names of the functions into an array so that a function can be called by an array lookup?

or do you mean placing the whole function into an array for something like a retrival system?

if I remember correctly you can cobble together statements from variables that call functions.
so that you could call func01 -func10, If those were the names of the functions by adding the suffix 'i'. if 'i' was a counter in a loop.

---PSEUDO CODE---
for (i=1;i<11;i++) {
eval('func' + i + '()');
}
---PSEUDO CODE---

something like that (I didnt test this yet)

what exactly are you doing with the functions?

maybe this'll work

for(var i=0;i<3;i++){
x[i]="foo"+i+"()";
}

it should get x to store the names of the three funtions.

function foo0() {alert('foo0')}
function foo1() {alert('foo1')}
function foo2() {alert('foo2')}

var x = new Array(foo0, foo1, foo2);

x[0]();
x[1]();
x[2]();
