Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. in a css file specify
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
mx|Alert {
background-color: #ffffff;
}

2. compile project with halo swc
3. run project

alert background color is some strange blue-grey (default?) color

this is not exclusive to alert or alert background color, I am simply giving a minimum repro set.
