Creating a quick test, I was unable to determine how to use the new features like RTL language support and advanced ligatures in standard controls, like buttons etc.
Does somebody know if and how this is supported?

TLF does just the underlying text support. For information about buttons using TLF, I would suggest looking at Flex Gumbo, if you are a Flex user, and posting questions to their forum. Peter deHaan has some blogs that may also be helpful.

I'm also interested in whether the TLF can be used in standard controls. Based on your suggestion to the OP, I checked out the Gumbo forum and found it contains but two posts (including the welcome) and nothing relevant about BIDI support for standard controls.

We currently have an opportunity which requires BIDI support in our main app suite (currently Flex 3, FlashPlayer 9). I already know that it is possible to use TLF in the current SDK provided we upgrade to supporting FP 10, and I have seen many wonderful examples of text fields that do just that.

The problem is, I really need to know whether it is possible to use TLF in standard controls (Button, Label, List, etc.) right now, and what level of development that would take. If it is possible, would it involve an entire overhaul of our code to create new renderers for every control? Is that what it will take in Gumbo as well?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
