Javascript: Firefox addon, calling a function inside

In my button.xul file I have this:

      <script type="application/x-javascript"
  src="chrome://mf_unblocker/content/button.js"/>

<toolbarbutton id="custom-button-1"
  label="Custom"
  tooltiptext="MAFIAAFire: Slash Unblocker!"
  oncommand="CustomButton[1]()"
  class="toolbarbutton-1 chromeclass-toolbar-additional mf_unblocker"
  />

then in my button .js file I have this:

var CustomButton = {

1: function () {
alert("test!");
  },

test: function () {alert("testing!");},

}

in the xul file this CustomButton[1] brings up the alert "test!" but if I change it to CustomButton[test] it does not bring up the alert "testing!"

why is that?? It instead gives me an error "test is not define"

You are passing the variable test and not the string "test".

test is probably undefined

Either:

CustomButton['test']();

or

CustomButton.test();
