If there is a library that the main app doesn't need but is required for the modules. You can specify that in the compiler arguments for the module. If there are multiple modules, make sure the modules that gets loaded first is compiled against the RSLs.. @Adrian,

In Flex 4 we added a new Font Manager (CFFFontManager) which support (DefineFont4) CFF font embedding. There is a new attribute called embedAsCFF which is true by default. Older MX components (like the ones in your example) work with DefineFont3 format. So you should modify your example and add embedAsCFF: false; in the @font-face declaration. In case you run into any issues please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex @Matt,

If an RSL is not loaded by the main app, the modules don't load it!!!! This is a must if one want dynamic behavior with max reuse, where you have multiple modules that have common functionality that should be built into an RSL, that the main application doesn't either know or care.

I have tried following this post: http://flexdevtips.blogspot.com/2009/06/default-stylesheet-in-swc-flex-library.html but this only seems to work for flex 3.

But you can dispatch an event from the module which the parent app can listen for and then unload the module. I don’t believe that there is any readily available function to do this.
