Compile css to swfs

My application loads themes as multiple swfs at runtime. Is there a way to compile multiple css files into swfs with GradleFX, some of which live in the same directory?

   There's nothing build-in for this.

   One way to do this would be to create a seperate project for each css theme, with a project type "swf" and framework linking off. But that would probably be overkill.

   Another way would be to create a custom function which will call the mxmlc compiler, and then call that function like:

   compile.doFirst {
        compileThemes(['theme1.css', 'theme2.css'])
   }
   
   def compileThemes(stylesheets) {
       stylesheets.each { css =>
           ant.java(
                   jar: "$project.flexHome/lib/mxmlc.jar",
                   dir: "$project.flexHome/frameworks",
                   fork: true
           ) {
               arg(value: css)
               arg(value: '-output=' + project.file('target').path
           }
       }
   }
   

   This is completely untested code, but it should be something similar to this.

   Thanks for the reply. I did indeed end up taking a similar approach and it's working just fine.
