I replaced my switch statement now with this (and kept the  
"_action_xmlrpc" suffix of my functions) - probably still have to add  
more errorchecking

function main_action_xmlrpc( methodName ) {
	var method =  
app.__app__.currentRequestEvaluator.scriptingEngine.core.getPrototypePro 
perties( "MetaWeblogAPI" )[ methodName.split( "." )[ 1 ] +  
"_action_xmlrpc" ];
	if( method )
		return method.apply( this, arguments );
}
