Accessing a function define within a function from outside

Question

I have some code whose structure I cannot change. And functions defined in such a manner.

var Something.someFunc = function(e){
    function funcTwo(){

    }
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
}

I need to call funcTwo from outside of this structure. How do I go about doing it ? Someone suggested that i would have to use the".prototype" property but I cannot get this to work.

Anyone have a suitable solution, as i cannot change the structure of the code.

You cannot without changing the code inside Something.someFunc And what is someFunc? Are you creating objects with new Somthing.someFunc()? — HMR

funcTwo is defined in someFunc scope. There is now way for you to get access to it unless you can somehow modify the code.

Thats what I had thought initially, but a friend told me i could using the prototype property. Thanks for confirming that this cannot be done.
