Yes, that's possible (even though not documented yet):

Make a hyperlink to e.g. the following URL in order to call the ActionScript
function "dosomething" with the parameter "myparameter":

    http://pdf2swf:call:dosomething:myparameter

.
The ActionScript generated is
    dosomething("myparameter")
and will be called if you click on the hyperlink.
