Is there a way to optimise this code into something more compact?

This is for an interactive map that im busy with, and there is still a lot of coding left to do!

The instance loc_dot is a mc with a pulsing circle that hovers over the corresponding area on the displaying the name of the countrywhen the user hovers over Angola for instance.
