eventListner parameters and functions

Hi can anyone advise why my parameters are not being passed into the function

hoverGrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(315000, 350));
hoverGrow1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(280000, 350));
hoverGrow2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(315000, 1150));
hoverGrow3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(200000, 1150));
hoverGrow4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(315000, 28000));
hoverGrow5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DeltaShareExp(595000, 28000));





function DeltaShareExp(event:Event, startingNumber:Number, endingNumber:Number):void
{
	var i:uint = 1;
	var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10,100);
	myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(event:TimerEvent):void 
	 {
		 
	  var xNum:Number = startingNumber - i++ * endingNumber
	    myText.text = String(xNum); 
	  
	});
	myTimer.start();
}

i've kind of done it but it seems like a lot of code.. is this the best way??

hoverGrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 315000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 350;  
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = true;
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber,deltaDrop);  

 }); 
hoverGrow1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 280000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 350;
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = false
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber, deltaDrop);  

 }); 
hoverGrow2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 315000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 1150; 
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = true
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber, deltaDrop);  

 }); 
hoverGrow3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 200000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 1150; 
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = false
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber, deltaDrop);  

 }); 
hoverGrow4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 315000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 2800; 
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = false
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber, deltaDrop);  

 }); 
hoverGrow5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(event:MouseEvent):void{  
						   var startingNumber:Number = 595000;  
						   var endingNumber:Number = 2800;
						   var deltaDrop:Boolean = true
						   DeltaShareExp(event, startingNumber,endingNumber, deltaDrop);  

 }); 





function DeltaShareExp(event:Event, startingNumber:Number, endingNumber:Number, deltaDrop:Boolean):void
{
	var i:uint = 1;
	var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(10,100);
	myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(event:TimerEvent):void 
	 {
		 
		 if(deltaDrop == true){
	  var xNum:Number = startingNumber - i++ * endingNumber
	  myText.text = String(xNum); 
		 }else{
	  var xNum2:Number = startingNumber + i++ * endingNumber 
	  myText.text = String(xNum2); 
		 }
		   
	});
	myTimer.start();
}
