if you load sw2 into a movieclip instance (named "container" i.e) that is in sw1, have you tried?
_root.container.nameofyourfunction();
if your function is inside another movieclip in sw2:

_root.container.moviclipofswf2.nameofyourfunction();

at any point in 1.swf try the following code:
_root.mc.test();

where "mc" is the clip you have created with createEmptyMovieClip.
As you wrote your function "test" is located in the main timeline of 2.swf, right? :)
