Context on facebook api callback?

Question

Is there a way to pass context in a javascript facebook sdk api callback? Here's a simple exemple. Now this won't work because the variable 'this.name' in my callback function would be undefined, because it's not in my user object context. Any idea how to do it?

function user(id) {
 this.id = id;
 this.getUserName = function(fields,callback){
   FB.api({
     method:'fql.query',
     query: 'SELECT '+ fields.toString() +' FROM profile WHERE id=' + this.id
     },
     callback
   );
 }
 this.getUserName(['name'],function(response){this.name = response[0].name;});
}

var  amigo = new user('fb_id_here');

Closures are your friend.

function user(id) {
 this.id = id;
 this.getUserName = function(fields,callback){
   FB.api({
     method:'fql.query',
     query: 'SELECT '+ fields.toString() +' FROM profile WHERE id=' + this.id
     },
     callback
   );
 }
 this.getUserName(['name'],(function(this_user) {
   return function(response){this_user.name = response[0].name;}
 })(this));
}

var  amigo = new user('fb_id_here');
