TLF (Text Layout Framework) is an ActionScript library. It relies on FTE (Flash Text Engine) in Flash Player. The future of text for gaming is TBD as far as I understand.

TLF was one of the features that I thought was most important for the new enterprise development and I'm hearing it was an addition to the sdk not flash player. My (non rhetorical) question to the group is: what features have been added to the _player_ that we as flex developers use? What I am getting at is: what are we losing per se with adobe focusing on gaming? I can see that flash in the browser has challenges ahead, but AIR doesn't seem to. No?
