like this:

 function test(targetUid, dataObject, onDataRecieved) { VK.api("users.get", {uids:shortName,fields:"photo_50"}, function(data) { onDataRecieved(dataObject, data.response[0].uid); }); } function onNickDataRecieved(dataObject, data) { dataObject.result = data; } var nick = "123123", nickData = {}; test(nick, nickData, onNickDataRecieved); nickData.result && console.log(nickData.result);

but just read about the promises - they offer a more convenient interface for working with asynchronous code
