No, if I have a pointer to a function that exists inside a frame (iframe)

execute code from a freed script". What I want to do is to determine if the
script is freed so that I don't call it.
Oh, orphan script problem... It's even more interesting than freed/not
freed and never was really explored. In some circumstances you even
able to execute a function left from the previous page - as long as it
doesn't address to the DOM of the previous page (imaginary objects).
The latter simply crash Internet Explorer for example.
Well, I guess you still have a reliable checkpoint:
parent.frames['otherFrame'].document.locat ion
and match it against some variable.
Also standard JavaScript doesn't have package scope visibility but you
can emulate it:
function myFunction() {
arguments.calle e.packageName = 'package 1';
// the rest of the function
}
and from your script later:
if ((typeof myFunction == 'object') &&
(myFunction.pac kageName == currentPackage) ) {
// ...
}
