Declaring functions in other functions and callbacks

Question

Hi - I'm curious to know if the following situation is
possible (I haven't gotten it to work yet).
I'd like to load a series of images, and in the callback,
place them in different positions in my array. Instead of writing a
separate callback for each image, I'd like to do something like the
following:
But it looks like each version of the function gets the end
version of "i", not the version of i that existed when the function
was declared.
Is something like this at all possible?

Right. The whole point of the question is if is possible to
dynamically declare functions for use as callbacks.
For example, in the standard loading functions, you register
a callback like this:
var load:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
load.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfloadcallback);
load.load(req);
function swfloadcallback(e:Event):void
The problem with the standard callback function is that I
can't add additional arguments to it. For example, I couldn't have
swfloadcallback take in an additional argument (for example the
index of the swf I'm trying to load). What I'm wondering is if in
actionscript 3 it's possible to dynamically declare callbacks such
that I only have to write the code once, but in essence I am adding
additional parameters to the callback.
Hence the example I listed above. What I was trying to
accomplish there was basically dynamically creating callbacks that
understood which index to insert the loaded image into. But clearly
that example doesn't work.
