where's is the source code for text layout framework?

TLF source code is in current daily builds, such as today's, 4.0.0.8811. It is not in the Beta 1 build (4.0.0.7219) because TLF was opensourced after Beta 1.

textLayout.swc contains the TLF classes.

framework_textLayout.swc contains two classes -- UITLFTextField and TLFDataGridItemRenderer -- which provide glue between TLF and Halo components (i.e., the older "mx" components in framework.swc). For example, if you set <mx:Button textFieldClass="mx.core.UITLFTextField"> then the Halo button will use TLF to render its label.

Lets assume you have checked out flex sdk in "flexsource" folder, you can find text layout source code in "flexsource\frameworks\projects\textLayout". There are four folders, and to build it you need to run the ant task with the build file in that folder.

framework_textLayout in my opinion is a wrapper on top of TLF, to use FTE capabilities in Halo components.

Hope this helps.
