Displaying text from a rollOver

Ok I have a bunch of buttons that represent a different restaurant. When I roll over the button I am the name of the restaurant to appear in a dynamic text field. Now I can get this to work, but I feel that I am doing this the long way and that there should be a more efficient way of doing it. Is there a way of setting up an var object that would contain the names and when the button is rolled over , it would pull that name from that object and place it into the text field?
Here a sample of the code that I am using:

function offName(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(root).names_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
}
//restaurant 1
function restName1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
MovieClip(root).names_mc.gotoAndStop(“alma”);
}

nameBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, restName1);

this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, offName);

Thanks for your help
