Updating TLF swc to 2.0 in Flash CS4

I am currently using one of the latest versions of TLF available as a swc as described for use in Flash CS4.  However, I realize that this is not the TLF 2.0 version.  Can I install the TLF version 2.0 via a swc for use in CS4?

Or do I need to do all my AS3 projects in Flex 4, which means I need to buy THAT instead?

I would just buy CS5, but now I have read somewhere that 2.0 isn't available to update in Flash CS5, which seems sort of bizarre since things like floats were implied to be available in CS5.

Keeping track of what software I need to buy to make available a feature implied to be already available in the framework is a bit frustrating.

Yes, you can use tlf 2.0 with CS4. I'm working with tlf 2.0 and CS4. Just add a library path to textLayout.swc and it works.

No need to buy other software...

I'm having a hard time finding the swc to download.  I have an older version of it...

There's a big green button to get a recently-uploaded build.
