You should specify the Flex version, since the newly release Flex 4 has a completely different skinning architecture.

Anyhow, I assume this is Flex 3, you could try and set this:

Button {
    skin: ClassReference(null);
}

Not sure it’ll work, some components choke on null skins.

If it is Flex 4, I suggest creating a skin class that does what you want, even if it is empty, and setting it like so (note the namespace, s for Spark):

s|Button {
    skin-class: ClassReference('my.empty.Skin');
}

Where my.empty.Skin is the fully qualified class name for your skin.
