Expected Results:
No RTE.

Workaround (if any):
Slow down on the button clicking, man!

updated 01/14/2009 djl
1. copy defaults.css from the flex4 project and compile it to a swf.
2. Load the defaults.swf file using StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("defaults.swf", true, false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); on the createComplete event of the main application. This puts all the skin classes into the main application's ApplicationDomain.

Here's the code change to the main application:

<FxApplication xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" creationComplete="init()">
<Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.styles.StyleManager;

private function init():void

{ StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("defaults.swf", true, false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); }

]]
>
</Script>
