Same Effect with different MovieClips

I want to have my text light up when you mouse over it.  The text is within a box to make it easier to read.  I would like to know how to make it so the text in the box will light up, no matter what the text is.  I know how to do this individually, but I was wondering if there was a way to save time so I wouldn't have to write a function for each text box.  Here is the code I have to make it glow:

alley1.talkAlley.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, alleyQuestion);

alley1.talkAlley.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, alleyQuestionOut);

var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();

glow.color = 0xFFFFFF;

glow.alpha = 1;

glow.blurX = 25;

glow.blurY = 25;

glow.quality = BitmapFilterQuality.MEDIUM;

function alleyQuestion(event:MouseEvent) : void

{   

    alley1.talkAlley.filters = [glow];

}

function alleyQuestionOut(event:MouseEvent) : void

{

    alley.talkAlley.filters =[];

}

so, "talkAlley" is the mc text inside my first text box, entitled "alley1".  I want to be able to add more instances of text boxes and questions without having to write 10,000 functions.  Any help is much appreciated.
