Hi

   It is impressive to see the Timers Reader,  implemented by AIR and TLF,

   As we open the Timers Reader,  the first page into your eyes are a bunch of top news headlines.  I am trying to figure out how to create this by TLF ? is each headline a paragraph element of TextFlow  or  a container of TextFlow  ,  or just a  TextFlow ?

I would guess that each one is its own a little TextFlow.  If you are using the Flex 4 SDK, there are documented methods of how to create horizontal list-type component like that with item renderers that utilize TLF to render the text.  You could also create a very simple component that uses TLF directly by using a TextFlow with either a container controller or a text line factory to render the headline text within the component.
