How do make a text Field display

Ok I have a bunch of movie clips that the player can interact with. And i also have a text field that I would like to show the names of those different movie clips as they are being interacted with. For example if the player clicks on a apple mc the text field will display the word apple. here is the code that i have tried

var myText:TextField = new TextField();

function readOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
myText.text:readOut.currentTarget;
addChild(myText);

}
