Need help displaying data in text field... Help?

Question

i have this code:
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ScottMitchell"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
    processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
    var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
    trace(tweets[0].text);
It works, in the output it tells me the tweets.
but i need it to be displyed on the app, i need to no how to do this, someone pointed me in the direction of using a item renderer extended from sprite?
But really all i need to do is display it in a text field, all i want to do is display the data.
Can anyone help???
I know this is probably simple and i did try to figure this out on my own, but had no luck.
All help is appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

you can always use an array if there's no pattern to your positions:
var positionA:Array=[ [100,20], [2,222], [55,2], [201,111], [78,23] ];
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ScottMitchell"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
    processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
    var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
addChild(tf);
tf.multiline=true;
tf.width=300;
tf.text =   tweets[i].text;
tf.autoSize="left";
tf.x=positionA[i][0];
tf.y=positionA[i][1];
nextY+=tf.height;
