How do I make a text box in ActionScript 3?

I'm trying to learn ActionScript 3, but right now I'm hung up on getting a basic interface set up. I've found out that newTextField will make one, but I don't know how to put it where I want.

I've checked out some source code for other projects using the same IDE (Adobe Flash CS6) and they seem to have access to a textbox symbol. So how do I make one of the textbox symbols with the IDE, or using some code?

var tf:TextField = new TextField;
tf.text = "Hello World!";
addChild(tf);

These will create black text reading 'Hello World!'.
