That is awesome. Is there anyway you can provide some sample code? It
would be hugely appreciated. Perhaps even point me to the
tutorials/samples/help files you used to make it. It sounds like exactly
what I am looking for and the best solution until the next version of Flex
which will apparently separate the CSS out properly.

Hi,
I've been able to get around this problem, by creating a single mxml file
that embeds the stylesheet I want to. The entire mx file is just an embedded
css file.
I then do all of my 9scale png setup etc, styles on the buttons etc.
I then compile this with ant into a single SWF with ant and put it into my
themes directory automatically with ant.
I then load in the SWF -- AS soon as the SWF is loaded it instantly
applies all of my CSS styles and everything because of the original embed
tag. I dont have to do setStyle on anything because once the SWF gets loaded
it instantly applies the styles.
Once the SWF is loaded I then create the interface which then uses
whatever themes are set based on the CSS stylesheet.
I find this great because I can do runtime theme switching on the fly by
compiling themes into different SWFs.
You can also use this same procedure to compile in external modules, etc
-- similar to the IOC - Inversion of control design pattern to create very
re-usable plugins - similar to dll functionality.
Let me know if this helps.
Best, Austin

This is exactly the feature I'm looking for.. we have themes that the
user can select, i'll
just have to bind the color property for now. I wonder why this feature
was left out.
Thanks,
