Can i create new textfields for each childNode?

Hi, i have a situation where i am recreating an all flash site into a hybrid site once the folks figured out that their search terms can’t be used by google in a flash site…

anyway, there are numerous paragraphs of text that they would like to retain formatting for. I am reading in in the text using separate childNodes in an XML file for each paragraph break. however, i would like to know if i can create new textfields everytime i loop through a childNode structure and then write out the new textfield with the current Node’s value used as the text property for the TextField instance.

here’s how i think it might work in my head:


var paragraph;

for (var i = 0; i < xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++) {
  this.createTextField(name, depth, x, y, width, height);
  paragraph = xmlNodeDecl.firstChild.childNodes*.firstChild;  
  newTextField.text += paragraph;  
*}

is what i’m trying to do possible and if so, has anyone done something like this before? right now i’m not getting any output whatsoever.

thanks for any help.
