How to display a phtml in a backend custom menu

Question

I've created a new menu on the backend, called "X" with an item called "Y". When I click on this item, it appears nowhere because I don't know how to display it. Let me show you what I have done.

In the cotroller.php I have put this:

public function indexAction()
    {
 $block = $this->getLayout()
        ->createBlock('core/text', 'example-block')
        ->setText(‘Hello’);
        $this->_addContent($block);

        $this->renderLayout();
    }

For this code, if I click on the menu "Y", I get the output "Hello". Ok, but now I don't know how to call a phtml or something in order to display whatever I want.

I don’t know how to call another cms/block or something like that to watch it there. Using this code snippet:

$this->getlayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('my-cms')->to
Html();

(where my-cms is a cms page that I created before)

the output appears at the top, so it doesn’t work the way I want it to work.

Putting your two code snippets together, I get:

public function indexAction()
    {
       $block = $this->getLayout()
       ->createBlock('cms/block')
       ->setBlockId('my-cms');
        $this->_addContent($block);

        $this->renderLayout();
    }

Have you tried this?
