I am a fuckign idiot....I can't believe I never knew this.....

Overview of component structure
A component consists of a Flash (FLA) file and an ActionScript (AS) file. You can optionally create and package other files (for example, an icon and a .swd debugging file) with your component, but all components require a FLA and an ActionScript file. When you've finished developing your component, you export it as a SWC file.

all components require a FLA and an ActionScript file.

FUCK...something so basic and I screw it up. My brain is mush.
