Why do you need to call it via a string? – Mister Epic Sep 20 '13 at 14:19

You may have simply omitted this in the question, but you do need `()` to execute the function, ex. `window['alert']('hi');`. – Jason P Sep 20 '13 at 14:21

I think this question isn't so much about the bracket notation, but the context of functions nested in other functions. [This SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14677627/function-context-this-in-nested-functions) may be of help. – Jason P Sep 20 '13 at 14:26

I found a solution, maybe that helps anybody else as well!
$.fn.myApp = function (options){
$.fn.myApp.myFunc = function(){
//do something
}
$.fn.myApp["myFunc"](); //working
}

Take a look at this code: you need to expose the method in order to call it form outside that function: http://jsbin.com/aXuloFE/1/
