Dynamic addition of MXML Component

Question

Is it possible to add an MXML component through an ActionScript.
I have a situation where I display multiple checkboxes and on click of each I show a subform. I am planning to make that subform as MXML component and add/remove it based on the user's checking/unchecking the checkbox..Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Ben ..
     Appreciate your quick response. This is my first Flex app. In a nut sheel here is a sample similar to what I am trying to achieve.
Consider my Mxml component as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- myComponents/TempComponent.mxml -->
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="400" height="300">
    <mx:Button label="Hey there from component"/>
</mx:Canvas>
Now here he my app mxml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
    xmlns:temp="mycomponents.*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            public function addRemove():void{
                //How do i add that component to the Panel?
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
     <mx:Checkbox id="cb" change="addRemove()" label="Check or Uncheck"/>
     <mx:Panel  id="testPanel" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="200" layout="absolute" borderThickness="0" borderThicknessBottom="0"/>
Can you guide me what should go in the listener to add the component to the panel?
