AngularJS use a global scope function inside another

Question

I have the following AngularJS function called editlocation that opens a Modal window that I can edit three pieces of data.

After the result I want to be able to run plotmarkers this is used in another instance of an ng-click. I have tried the following but it doesn't work. I also tried placing it inside the ModalInstanceCtrl2 controller too, but no luck.

$scope.editlocation = function (locations) {
    var locationToEdit = locations; 
    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
        templateUrl: 'template/modal-edit-marker.html',
        controller: ModalInstanceCtrl2,
        resolve: {
            locations: function () {
                return locationToEdit;
            }
        },
        scope: $scope.$new()
    });
    modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
    locationToEdit.title = selectedItem.title;
    locationToEdit.gps = selectedItem.gps;
    locationToEdit.desc = selectedItem.desc;
    $scope.plotmarkers;
    }, function () {
        console.log('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
    });
};


$scope.plotmarkers = function() {
    //things will happen here
};

You aren't actually calling the function here. Try this:

$scope.plotmarkers();

Unless plotmarkers in in the same controller/scope (ModalInstanceCtrl2) you are calling it that won't work. a far better approach would be to emit or broadcast an event that would let know every interested party that markers should be plotted you can do it either using the controllers scope or the $rootScope if you have it injected.
