XML to flash (ignors <br>)

i have a problem. I create a object in flash looped from a xml. Everything works fine … except one thing. The linebreaks wont work. I have tried everything. CDATA-tags, no CDATA-tags, <br>,
, htmltextfields, default textfields. Anybody familiar with this problem? Tips?

XML:
<items>
<item type=“1”><![CDATA[ line 1<br>line 2<br>line 3 ]]></item>
<item type=“2”><![CDATA[ line 1
line 2<br>line 3 ]]></item>
<item type=“3”><![CDATA[ line 1<br>line 2<br>line 3 ]]></item>
</items>
