I think SWD is only relevant for ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0. Flash files with debugging turned on would produce a swd file.
When debugging was toggled on in the Flash Player (and a debugging swf was loaded), a call for the swf's swd would be made. I just did a small test, creating a debuggable Flash file; when I compile it for AS2.0, the swd file is generated; when targeting AS3.0, no swd file is created.
