Question

I’m working in a Flash Builder 4 Actionscript project and trying to figure out how to embed a css file into the project at “compile-time”. Just as we did when we use MXML’s <fx:Style> tag.

Any idea?

// Embed your stylesheet with the octet-stream mime-type 

[Embed(source="assets/stylesheet.css", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] 
private var stylesCSS:Class;   

public function createStyleSheetObject():StyleSheet 
{
    // create a new StyleSheet instance
    var styleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
    styleSheet.parseCSS(new stylesCSS().toString());
    return styleSheet; 
}
