Javscript Event Problem

i have to assign events to images with addEventListener function and i have to pass additional arguments. How can i do that? Using addEventListener is the only way, i can't use any other type of event adding. ex.

element.addEventListener('click',elm_event_func,false);

i want that elm_event_func accepts arguments and to be able to pass argument s in the addEventListener.

i tried
element.addEventListener('click',function(e){elm_event_func(arg1);},false);

this works, but the problem is that if i put this in a for loop only the last variable will be passed. ex:

for (var i=0; i<5; i++)
{
//create the elements
//adding events to the different element
element.addEventListener('click',function(e){elm_event_func(i);},false);
}

here is only the i=5 will be passed as argument, don't know why.
