Flash Builder compiling swc and no swf

Question

I've got an old Flex project I have to bug fix - and Flash builder is now refusing to compile a swf. I'm getting a swc only in the output directory in run or debug.

Does anyone know why Flash Builder might do this? Any settings I'm not aware of?

Flash builder will create swcs for library projects. There is probably another "shell" project that depends on the project you're looking at;

However, if I assume that this was supposed to be a regular Flex project, and it got converted into a library by mistake, you can change it back by editing the .project file in the project root. Look for the following XML element in that file:

<natures>
    <nature>com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.flexlibnature</nature>
    <nature>com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.actionscriptnature</nature>
</natures>

Change that to:

<natures>
    <nature>com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.flexnature</nature>
    <nature>com.adobe.flexbuilder.project.actionscriptnature</nature>
</natures>
