Returing one item to a textarea

Hi,

I am just starting using flex and would like to know the best way to make queries and return them to without using datagrids.

My query is going to select the last item from my NEWS table and put the header and content into a textarea if possible.

I can find lots of tuts on returning a full table to a data grid but none how to get a few results and style them how I would like rather than in a datagrid.

Any help would be appreciated.
