This should be possible, but we're not taking that approach because loading CSS as text won't get you the graphical or programmatic skins that a Flex-style CSS often references.
The Flex compilers are free, and it should be easy to give your users a .bat file or something to turn their CSS file into a SWF. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Wabyick Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 1:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Runtime CSS support That is very cool, but not quite what I am looking for. We are creating a product where end-users may not have Flex, but we want them to be able to edit a CSS style sheet to update our application. It wouldn't be that hard to create a parsing utility that looks up CSS values and overrides them, but I assume this code is available somewhere. Perhaps some MX2004/AS2 code that could be ported ...
