Question

I have

 var X={
     method1 : function(){
                A();
              },
     method2 : function(){
                A();
              },
    
    }

function A(){
       console.log('im from methodNAME of ObjNAME ');
}

How can I find out the name of the method and Object that the function is called from?

You can use arguments.caller but it’s not reliable:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope/arguments/caller

It has been replaced with https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/caller which seems to have reasonable browser support.
