>From the Adobe livedocs "The Preloader class is used by the SystemManager to monitor the download and initialization status of a Flex application. It is also responsible for downloading the runtime shared libraries (RSLs). "
By design, the preloader is supposed to run prior to loading any shared libraries. You might want to try pulling out the styles you need for the preloader and apply them at compile time. If you prefer to load them at runtime, you can use the StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations function in your preloader and wait to start it until the StyleManager finishes loading (function returns an IEventDispatcher where you can listen for StyleEvent.COMPLETE). Although, I'm not sure how well the later will work before the application finishes initializing.
