Hi,

I perferctly now how to get TLF to work in CS4.

As far as I know, the the base code is in AS3 so I should be able to locate the classes in CS3 and use it in Flash CS3.

I appreciate if there is anyone who can help me with this?

I'm not that knowledgeable about Flash Pro, however, I'd be quite surprised if you could make this work.  CS4 added Flash Player 10 support.  That includes a compiler update for Vector - a new AS3 feature.  Minimally you'll have to get Flash CS3 to generate FP10 level content and compile with the playerglobals.swc from FP10.  If you can get that far than adding textLayout.swc to your project should be straightforward.

Maybe someone else has an idea.

Hope that helps,

Richard

Thanks for your very technical and useful reply.

When I locate the swc's zip-like files of classes into the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Components folder.

They appear in the commponent pannel in Flash CS3 Authoring Software, however the problem is I can NOT drag them into the stage nor can I drag them into the library.

Do you know the reason for this? because in CS4 you can drag them into the stage or library in order to use them.

Probably because you are using something built for CS4 in CS3.   There is no expectation that should work.
