Help!! How do you build the SWF files?

Question

Hi, I since I am new to Flex & Flex Builder2, I have
tried to recreate an empty swf file, similar to the sample file
"EmptySwf.swf"
However, when I replace the default EmptySwf.swf with mine, I
keep getting: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot
convert flash.display::Sprite@fda2a81 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
Steps to reproduce:
i) I am using Flex Builder 2.0.143459
ii) in the mxml file created when choosing 'Flex Project', I
add the FAbridge information as instructed
<fab:FABridge xmlns:fab="bridge.*" />
(I have also tried using <bridge:FABridge
xmlns:bridge="bridge.*" id="bridgeInst" /> )
iii) Select BuildAll and then copy to the samples folder
(overwriting the original).
iv) The error occurs in the browser.
What gives?
The FA Bridge is supposed to be an easy 'learning curve' to
get into Flex.
This is quickly pushing me away!!!!!

Thanks for the prompt reply. Obviously you guys are watching
this forum keenly.
For those others that are new to Flex, I found that creating
an
ActionScript Project in Flex builder to be the way to create
a 'blank' swf file that works.
Note:
- you'll also need to add a library reference:
${FRAMEWORKS}\libs\framework.swc
- you'll still need to add the FABridge reference:
x:\somepath\\FABridge\src
Then, make your main actionscript file look like EmptySwf.as
as shipped with the samples.
