How do I call an angular function from within an angular function?

Question

I have written an angular function that works fine. Now, I want to write another angular function that calls the first function. How can I do this?

app.controller("AppCtrl",function($scope,$location,$http,$compile,$rootScope){
    $scope.func1 = function(param1,param2){
        ... // function body
    };
    $scope.func2 = function(param3) {
        var value = "someValue";
        $scope.func1(value,param3);
    };
});

Unfortunately func2() doesn't work, even though fucn1() works if I call it directly (e.g., <div ng-click="func1(val1,val2)">Click Here</div>. Why?

UPDATE:

It's because I'm doing the following:

<ul>
    <li ng-click="func2('{{item.value}}') ng-repeat="item in items">Item</li>
</ul>

For some reason {{item.value}} is not being compiled in the ng-repeat. I can inspect the HTML and see that the values are there, but the ng-click doesn't do anything. However, if I manually enter a value for the parameter in func2, then it works. So, now my questions is: How do I compile items in an ng-repeat?

There should be no problem with this. What behaviour or error are you receiving. — Davin Tryon

@DavinTryon I have updated the question. For some reason the items in my ng-repeat are not being compiled. — Chris Paterson

I fixed your example here: http://jsfiddle.net/CsffM/

The problem is that you are using brackets in your expression, Insted, do this:

<li ng-click="func2(item.value)" ng-repeat="item in items">Item</li>

I hope I have helped!
