There is also a MultilineLabel component that should do roughly what mx:Text did. TextArea is really intended for editing multi-line text. The basic FlexJS component set should support an "html" property wherever there is a "text" property so even button labels can be "rich".
We still need volunteers to build out equivalents for other higher-level HTML controls like Table and the new HTML5 widgets.
