I searched the forums and couldn’t find anything relevant to my issue. I’m creating 3 textfields and loading XML into them. What i need is to add a “label” before each textfield on the stage. For instance i’m pulling a city name from the XML file, i want to insert the word, “Location” on the stage before the textfield with the city’s name in it. Here’s a snippet from my code where i’m loading one of the variables into one of the dynamic textfields.

```auto

var where:TextField = new TextField();

where.text = eventsXML.Event[0].City;
where.x = 85;
where.y = 81;

```

I want it to appear on the stage as:  
Location: Sydney, Australia
