Flex 3 and Multiline Text

Once again I'm proved an idiot =)

I spent about 45 minutes looking around for a clever way of creating a multi-line label or text block in Flex and was rewarded with a whole lot of nothing...

probably because the solution to the problem is dirt simple, instead of using the label tag with text="yadda yadda" use a text tag with htmlText="yadda yadda" and a set width...
