loading texts from XML into flash AS3?

I have this XML that shows some data from mysql database.

I need to pull some of those data (i.e. Name, Price, etc) from the xml and show them in the Flash application.

Now, I can pull the images and display them in the flash but I have problem displaying the texts from the xml into the flash.

This is the structure of my xml:

<Data>
<ID>127</ID>
<Name>Example 1</Name>
<Price>12!!</Price>
<Image>inventory_images/127.jpg</Image>
<Date>Mar 08, 2013</Date>
</Data>

and this the code (Flash AS3) that will display the image of the product in the flash.

stop();
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;



var uRequest = new URLRequest("PATH-TO-MY-XML-FILE");
xmlLoader = new URLLoader(uRequest);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad);
var imgLoader:Loader;


function onXMLLoad(e:Event) {
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    imgLoader = new Loader();
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImgLoaded);
    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(xml.Data.Image.text()[0]));
}


function onImgLoaded(e:Event) {
    addChild(imgLoader);
    imgLoader.height = 300;
    imgLoader.width = 300;
}

could someone please help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

So if I understand your question correctly, the image loading and displaying part works. If you want to display your text you can simply use TextFields like this : 

function onXMLLoad(e:Event) {
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    var tf:TextField = new TextField();
    tf.text = xml.Name.text()[0];//or whatever part you want to display
    addChild(tf);//you'll want to style and move tf, maybe.
}

flex labels would work too...

EDIT : also I see you are in the timeline, so you could simply use a dynamic textfield named 'myTextField' for example, and then your code :

var myString:String = 'loading';
function onXMLLoad(e:Event) {
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    myTextField.text =  "" + xml.Name.text()[0];
}

try imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(xml.Image.toString())); and you may need use full url like http://yoursite.com/inventory_images/127.jpg instead inventory_images/127.jpg in your xml, or add http://yoursite.com/ to url string.
