Using Flash Builder 4.6 on some code from a client. Clicked on debug (also tried run) and received this error:

Process terminated unexpectedly.

initial content not found

Launch command details:  "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0
\bin\adl.exe" -runtime "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0

XversionPlatform IOS "C:\Users\tstiffler\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\TP\bin-debug\TP-
app.xml" "C:\Users\tstiffler\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\TP\bin-debug"

How do I fix this? Please be as detailed as you can as I've never used Flash Builder before. Thanks!

I had Main-app.xml file, in it I changed the following line

<content>[This value will be overwritten by Flash Builder in the output app.xml]</content>

to

<content>{yourAppName}.swf</content>

and initial content problem was solved.
