Is there a way to add TinyMCE into my own WordPress plugin?

I have a textarea in my back end script and want to make this area into a TinyMCE WYSIWYG editable field. Is there a way to do that?

This code does not work for me:

<?php
    wp_tiny_mce(false,array("editor_selector" => "test"));
?>
<textarea class="test" id="test" name="test"></textarea>

It shows the javascript error

f is undefined

This didn’t work either:

<textarea class="theEditor" id="videogalerie-add_description" name="videogalerie-add_description"></textarea>

    This is much easier to do in WordPress 3.3 using the wp_editor() function.

    I’m working on a plugin that will add a TinyMCE instance to a theme options page. Here’s what it looks like:

    // Add TinyMCE visual editor
wp_editor( $content, $id );

    Where $content is the stored content and $id is the name of the field. Options can also be passed to customize the TinyMCE functionality, check out the WordPress Codex for more details.
