As you've already noted, the CSS styles are compiled into the SWF at compile-time, so there isn't a quick way to together a SWF that'll be can load and apply external CSS files on the client-side. However, you do have a few options. Probably the simplest solution is to generate your MXML referencing your desired CSS file(s) on demand and compile the SWFs via Flex 1.5 or Flex Data Services for Flex 2.0 on your server upon request. A trickier option would be write your own ActionScript classes to load in your CSS file, parse it, and apply the styles to the specified components at run-time. Note that you don't necessarily have to define your styles in CSS though--in some of the projects that I've worked on, for instance, we went with a simpler JSON-style object tree containing name-value pairs for styles to be applied as CSS parsing, especially when done in ActionScript 1 or 2, isn't particularly all that fast. Unfortunately such functionality isn't built into the Flex Frameworks, so you will need to code it yourself. If you do end up electing to write your own support for loading full-on CSS at run-time, Claus Wahlers had previously written open-source CSS parsers for Actionscript 1 and 2 that you might be able to reuse and extend for your purposes. Though if you really do want do this, you really should seriously consider using ActionScript 3.0 as the heavy lifting involved takes quite a few seconds with the old AVM.
