Yup, very easy. Just use BXMLSerializer to load the text the user =
enters. You may need to wrap it in a StringReader to pass to =
readObject().

The only real trick is how to get it on screen. Every UI element in a =
Pivot app must ultimately be contained by some kind of Window. You could =
require your users to create a Window (or subclass) as a root element, =
but that might be kind of limiting. Alternatively, if you allow them to =
create any kind of component except Window (and Display) as a root =
element, you could open your preview in a Frame, or the right-hand side =
of a SplitPane, etc.
