You could just use a composite component then. Any with absolute positioning should do.

Just make sure to add the label as the last subcomponent.

For example:

<mx:Canvas width="100" height="100">
    <mx:Image source="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/" width="100%" height="100%"/>
    <s:Label text="This is your text"/>
</mx:Canvas>
