How do you add a TextField to the screen?

I tried using the same example from the dynamic help, but nothing is
appearing...

package assets {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormat;   
        
public class RMText extends Sprite {
private var label:TextField;
private var labelText:String = "Hello world and welcome to the show.";
                
public function RMText() {
configureLabel();
setLabel(labelText);
}

public function setLabel(str:String):void {
label.text = str;
}

private function configureLabel():void {
label = new TextField();
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.background = true;
label.border = true;

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = 'left';
format.font = "Verdana";
format.color = 0xFF0000;
format.size = 10;
format.underline = true;

label.defaultTextFormat = format;
addChild(label);
}
}       
}


------------------------------------

This does not seem to do anything... For some reason when I add this
to the screen I cannot see anything, but I am not sure why, as I
copied it directly from dynamic help...

Any ideas? (UITextField causes the same issue)...
