What are the supported html tags in the htmlText parameter of ActionScript3 components?

Question

Am working on a flash component that is supposed to display some dynamic text which might include HTML formatting. This text is displayed in a label component (AS3), and i would want it to render correctly, like create a line break when <br> is inserted, but it doesn't!

So am wondering what the supported HTML tags in the label component, and in general all other flash components?

There's a complete list in the help docs. If you want my advice, try to use the htmlText property as little as possible for complex layout issues. It's a bag of hurt as soon as you mix in images or want to try some more advanced (=by standards of 2001) CSS.
