apply()?

[Ron Griswold]

Hello,
 
I'm almost positive I've seen a function somewhere that will call a
method of an object given the method's name. Something like:
 
apply(obj, "func_name", args)
 
is equivalent to:
 
obj.func_name(args)
 
For some reason I thought this was the apply function, but that doesn't
appear to be the case. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
Thanks,
