I used style.getStyle("icon") to look at the object, and it was just
the string representation from the stylesheet (@Embed(...)). Obviously
when the button style was set with this value from the module, it's
not going to find the image.I've ditched the idea of using a stylesheet file and have defined all the styles manually in actionscript. That way it works when embedding images.
