Adding a rollover state to a movieclip

I have a flash piece with a number of shapes/text that are movieclips, that take you to various sections when clicked. I'd like the text to change color when you roll-over them.

I know you can do this with buttons but I've already done a lot of work and they're movieclips. Can I do that?

What version of Flash and AS are you using?
Is the text in the movieclips dynamic?

With dynamic textfields and AS2 on main timeline....

Code:

---

var my_fmt = new TextFormat();
btn1.dispTxt.text = "one";
btn2.dispTxt.text = "two";
//
function doRollOver() {
        my_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
        this.dispTxt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
        this.onRollOut = doRollOut;
}
function doRollOut() {
        my_fmt.color = 0x000000;
        this.dispTxt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
}
btn1.onRollOver = doRollOver;
btn2.onRollOver = doRollOver;
