    Flex 2.0.1 Style Swapping

    One of the cool new features of Flex 2.0.1 is the ability to compile your style sheets to swf and then do real time style changes of your application. This sample creates 2 style sheet swfs and then uses the StyleManager to swap them. Full source is available.

      Murugast, for that, you must compile CSS to swf. To do that, right click on the css file from the navigator pane and choose compile css to swf.
      If you’ll do that, everithing will be fine

      Sorry, that was a case sensitivity issue that was missed when I moved to a Linux box. It should be fine now.
