Hello,

I have a problem with all my css files in my Flex project. I need them to be compiled into SWF because its the only way to load and switch them at runtime.

I use a ClassReference to a custom programmatic skin in the css file:

```
skin: ClassReference( "com.someawsomepackage.util.manager.SkinManager" );

```

MY PROBLEM is that I HAVE TO place the various css file in the ROOT folder of my project so that the compiler can find and compile this classreference along with the css.

I would like to place the css files into a style folder… But I will get a compile error if I do so.

Anyone has an idea ? Maybe some additional compiler arguments? (I’ve been using it only through the Flex Builder )

thx !

Alex
