Is it possible to run actionscript as a user rolls over certain words in a scrolling text field when the text has been loaded externally?

I’ve created this record-book thing that loads everything on the fly from a single text file, but now I’d like to add little hover captions for specific words in the fields (and later pull the captions from an external txt file as well).
