The easiest way is to just use a closure.

change this function to return another function. Something like this:
function NamedActionResponseHandler(NamedActionElement, etc) {
return function(theResponse) {
//do stuff based on values i have encoded into the element and
//the data returned in theResponse
}
}
And then call it like this:
onComplete: NamedActionResponseHandler(theElement),
