I'm working on a school assignment in Flash CS5 trial version (i have cs3 but the class requires cs5 for the instructor to open .fla files).  Working with the text tool in TLF, it will not let me actually type the text onto the stage.  When I select the text tool and try to type it just puts medium blue lines/boxes on the stage and not text.  I finally found where the errors were and it kept staying "1172: Definition fl.text: TLFTextfield could not be found"  what in the world is this supposed to mean?! Tried "googling" the error and couldn't find anything useful.  =(

I'm fairly new to Flash so any help would be GREATLY appriciated!  Thanks!

In addition to what Robin has said, you may want to check another file in the same directory, just one level further:

Common>Configuration>ActionScript 3.0>libs>11.0>textLayout.swc

I don't know too much about the Flash CS5 Trial version, and how it is different from the regular version, but I would expect that it has support for TLF.  In my installation of Flash CS5 on my Macintosh I have a file called tlfRuntime.SWC in the Flash applications folder in "Common: Configuration:ActionScript 3.0:libs:tlfRuntime.swc". Do you have a file like that on your system?
