I'm using the Function.apply() method to send a dynamic number of arguments to
another function, and i'm running into much frustration.... it seems, whenever
I send an argument, it will trace the argument, but execute nothing else inside
the function, but... if the argument is Undefined, everything else runs fine...
I have no clue what is going on. can anybody help me with this?

My code is below:

/* ===== This is all inside of a class ===== */

var myDelay:Number = 1000;             // Delay in ms
var myString:String = "test string";         // A Test Variable to Pass Around

// interval_int = setInterval
(this,FunctionToRun,delayAmt,intervalToClear,functionToRunAfterDelay,parameter1,
parameter2,...)
delay_int =
setInterval(this,"DelayRun",myDelay,"this.delay_int",myFunction,"test string")

private function DelayRun (delayInterval,functionName:Function) {
        clearInterval(eval(delayInterval));
        arguments.shift();        // Remove the DelayIntrval that was Cleared.
        arguments.shift();        // Remove the FunctionName Argument
       
        functionName.apply(null,arguments);
}
               
private function myFunction(testArg) {
        trace("Test: " + testArg);                // Traces Argument when its Sent
       
        RunAnotherFunction();                // Only runs when testArg is NOT sent
}
