Myo's random rambling

Vic on Flex wrote a pretty nice write up with Runtime CSS need to know before you go.

Essentially, there are 3 rules that prevail:

1. The most recent style to be loaded always wins.
2. Run time overrides compile time styles
3. StyleManager is a global Manager
4. Style inheritance is granular to the attribute level
5. Compile time css will only compile styles found in Application

Let me explain further

Now, go over there to read more.

Flex LiveDocs said

Adobe You cannot load an uncompiled CSS file into your Flex application at run time. You must compile it into a SWF file before loading it.

And we developers are never good at listening. Here is how one fellow developer rebelled. He wrote the AS3 class to load pure CSS and apply to the display objects & its children. I say, this is neat!
