[AS3] addEventListener for Mouse Over

[ChaseNYC]

I have a text box that I want to display "tips" in, for example I have a text box with text in it and I added an event listener for mouse over but I realized i have no way to tell the function what text to display. When I try to do something like the following, I just get error messages:

txtpName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, tipText("This is your name");

public function tipText (tip:String, e:Event):void {
			txtTip.text = tip;
		}

Can anyone help me figure out how to make this work?

Thanks in advance,
