XML data without Fla?

Hi there,
I was searching for XML tutorials… All of them show a fla file, some code in first frame, some buttons and textfield in the library…
They use the buton to activate script and show the data in the textfield.
Now, my question is:
Do I have to use library items to show XML data?
Can I create just a simple text field in my AS file, add the XML data to it and make an instance of it in the fla?

Do I have to fill my library with items?

I’m confused… :huh:
