Well the suggestion was just a quick one using binding. The other way if
you wanted to format the string would be to use the change event on the
text field to trigger a function.
So this (again I haven't got FlexBuilder here, so treat this as pseudocode)
<mx:Script>
<[CDATA] (Does CDATA look like that? Dunno never typed it ;) )>
private function formatName():void
{
var formattedString:String = //whatever code you need to do
the formatting.
} outputLabel.text = "Welcome to the app " +formattedString;
</[CDATA]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label id="outputLabel"/>
<mx:TextInput id="inputText" change="formatName()"/>
But depending on what your username is, the binding is a bit less code.
