You can try using swfdump to compare the swfs. I use mxmlc to compile css swfs without problem.

I'd still like to know how to load style SWFs made via mxmlc though. In the meantime, here's how I got the styles to load: * In FB 3, I right-clicked (CTRL-Clicked on a mac) on the assets/BasicStyle.css file and selected "Compile CSS to SWF". This put a check mark next to that option. * Then I noticed that FB3 compiled the CSS file into a SWF and located that swf in: bin/Users/<username>/Documents/Flex Builder 3/testRuntimeCss/assets/BasicStyles.swf notice that FB3 reproduced the directory structure of the Flex Project location under the bin directory (rather than putting the style SWF in the assets/ folder directly). * So I updated my MXML file to read: StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Users/jbattat/Documents/Flex Builder 3/testRuntimeCss/assets/BasicStyles.swf") (the path passed to loadStyleDeclarations() used to be ../assets/BasicStyles.swf) * Then I did a debug run, clicked the Button and the styles were successfully loaded. So some obvious questions remain: * Do you really have to code the path to the style swf in this way, or can you tell FB3 to compile the CSS file into a SWF and place the SWF directly in the bin-debug/ folder (or elsewhere) * How do you get runtime styles to load using style SWFs made via mxmlc (this is the critical question for me). * Is there a way to "diff" two SWFs? I have one SWF (made by FB3) that works and one (made by mxmlc) that does not. Seeing the differences between the two would be instructive.
