What options exist for rendering markup in Actionscript? I am looking for something I can use to write templates for menus, tooltips, and other display/frontend stuff in a Flash application.

I want to be able to load a template from a string, and then render it as a display object. The kinds of things that would go inside would include text, with possible font styles, text positioning, and images.
