You don't. You need to use a table. Sorry.
local MyLocalFuncTable = {
["toggleFunction"] = ToggleLocation
}
MyLocalFuncTable[buttonname]()
When buttonname equals the string "toggleFunction", then ToggleLocation will be called.
(I didn't quite get what your locals and globals where, so I might have mixed up their names.)
