Yes, you can

Generally speaking, if I am not wrong, I remember that you can call any function (say, function_name() ) written in parent simply using onevent="parent.function_name()"

Look, here a simple parent page:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function function_name(){
alert('message from parent');
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<iframe src="iframe.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

...and here's the content of the page "iframe.html"

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" name="Button" value="Button" onclick="parent.function_name()">
</body>
</html>

Now when click on the button from iframe you call the alert() written in the parent page
