style problems in my project with newer Gumbo builds

I have not been around for a few weeks, and when I upgrade from build 5032 to build 5439 I am having some problems with my styles for Buttons, LinkButtons, ComboBox, and PopupButton.

Oddly enough, if I pull things into a simple sample, all of the styles work fine, so this one is proving to be a bit tricky to track down.

I have an mxml component that includes a css stylesheet. In the stylesheet, there are many styles that are working properly, but the style for my Buttons, LinkButtons, ComboBox, and PopupButton are not working. If I use the older version of Gumbo(5032), all works great. I tried including the styles in a style block in the component and it did not work.

I have tried going back to the oldest version of Gumbo that is available(5216) and the issue still exists, so this has been around for a while. So somewhere between 5032 and 5216, something changed that is reading the styles slightly differently. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

You probably want to ask this on the Flex forums - I'm sure you'd get better responses there:

Yes, this is definitely a Flex 4 question as opposed to TLF, but I think that it may be related to the use of the new Spark skins that are being used for halo components now in Flex 4. The halo 'spark' skins only support a small percentage of the style properties that the older halo skins support. You can override to use the old skins by adding the argument “-theme=../frameworks/themes/Halo/halo.swc” to your compiler arguments.
