Is there a way, for a Button’s “label” field, to display text over several lines? Or else to automatically “wrap” the text in several lines instead of cutting part of it?

This isn’t possible with the standard mx:Button – you can either create your own custom component to extend Button or look for others that have already created what you need.
For example the flexlib library contains a CanvasButton which would help:

Or if you prefer to do it yourself and create your own custom component this blog post will show you how:
