" To create a multiline, noneditable text field, use the Text control "
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000481.html
 
Btw, the example in the Flex 2 doc doesn't work, it looks that everything after a new line is trimmed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">

<!-- Simple example to demonstrate the Label control -->
<!-- For Flex 2.0, must replace newline with "\n" -->
<mx:Script>
   <![CDATA[
     
      private var htmlData:String = "<br>Label's htmlText property contains HTML-formatted text." + "\n" +
                    " If your text string contains" + "\n" +
                    " HTML tags, you must wrap it in the CDATA tag." + "\n" +
                    " The control  collapses any white space characters, such as tab" + "\n" +
                    " and  newline characters. For the special characters left  angle bracket (&lt;), " + "\n" +
                    " right angle bracket (&gt;),  or ampersand (&amp;), " + "\n" +
                    " insert the HTML equivalents of  <CODE>&amp;lt;</CODE>, <CODE>&amp;gt;" + "\n" +
                    " </CODE>, and <CODE>&amp;amp;</CODE>.  <br> "+ "\n" +
                    " <p><b>Note</b>:The <CODE>htmlText</CODE> property ignore CSS style settings for the control, " + "\n" +
                    " and instead rely on the HTML tags in the string for formatting." + "\n" +
                    " </p>  ";
                                        
          private function displayDetails()
          {
             simpleLabel.text="";
             simpleLabel.htmlText= htmlData;
          }
         
          private function clearArea()
          {
             simpleLabel.text="This Label displays Html Text";
          }     
  
   ]]>
</mx:Script>

  <mx:Panel title="Label Panel" width="640" height="250">
   
        <mx:Label id="simpleLabel" text="This Label displays Html Text"/>
        <mx:Button id="Display" label="Click to diplay Label's Html Text" click="displayDetails();"/>
        <mx:Button id="Clear" label="Clear htmlText" click="clearArea();"/>
 
  </mx:Panel>

You should use 'htmlText' instead of 'text'

<mx:Label htmlText="&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;World"/>
<mx:Text htmlText="&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;World" />
 
However, when trying this code with Flex 2, only the Text component was adding a line break, not the Label, is this a bug?
You can see that the <b></b> tag is taken in account but not <br>
