Is it possible to add paragraphs with actionscript?

Question

If I have an object like
<s:RichText id="foo">
<s:content></s:content>
</s:RichText>
Can I manually add paragraphs to it with actionscript?
I want to manually create a new paragraph, assign a string to it, and then stash it in the RichText object.  So I can use a loop to create as many paragraphs as I might need.
Such as
for each (s:String in myCollection) {
   [ foo add a p element with s in it ]

Answer 1

I think I've got it:
var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
for each ( var s:String in instructionsArray)
     var p:ParagraphElement = new ParagraphElement();
     var span:SpanElement = new SpanElement();
     span.text = s;
     p.replaceChildren(0, 0, span);
     textFlow.replaceChildren(textFlow.numChildren, textFlow.numChildren, p);
instructionText.content = textFlow;
Where "instructionText" is a RichText object.
This is very, very cool, btw.
