mx_internal is the namespace for internal stuff in the Flex framework.
You can access this stuff but it comes with no guarantee (and can/will
break in future versions).

In the subclass, I'm providing a getter/setter for the styleSheet
property on the protected textField object.
public function getStyleSheet():StyleSheet {
return textField.styleSheet;
}
// setStyleSheet()
This way you don't have to do any "hacks", accessing mx_internal, etc.

Well, you can generally subclass any of the framework components and
use them in MXML. See the tutorials for an example of how to do this.
I don't know how it works in Flex Builder/design view.
