No love for Flash

So, with the new open source text framework Adobe is now bundeling the TLF inside of the Flex SDK, as a Flash CS4 user I find this odd, i can understand the reasoning behind most coders are using flex to "code" and since TLF is implimented by code it should be bundeled in Flex...maybe. But I am argueing that the TLF should be neutral, I have been developing an application with a lot of custom graphics and animation that utlizes the TLF using Flash CS4, and having pretty customized type lends itself to be a 'pretty' detail that is more like a Flash behavior and I think it's unfair to assume TLF users will be Flex developers

Ok, i am done crying.

TLF is neutral, and you can use the TLF swcs you find in the current Flex builds with Flash CS4. The only reason you're seeing Flex integration before Flash integration is differing product schedules. The current imbalance is temporary.
