I'm not a flash expert but as as I know, flash does not play well with
formatting markup, though it has got better in recent versions.

You may traverse your xml dom tree and parse it in your actionscript
manually.
You can play around with setTextFormat method, but don't expect too much out
of it.

Another alternative is that you can try to format your xml with xslt and
save it as an xhtml file somewhere (like output.hml), and then embed the
output.html into your flash content [1].

I know, it's a bit overkill. But imho it's the only sure-fire way to do it.
