The BE9F flight crew received numerous traffic calls while on a vector for a visual approach. When they could not report the traffic in sight, the controller cleared them for a visual for another runway. At approximately 1 mi out, the flight crew was given a clearance to land on the runway for which they were originally receiving vectors.

Narrative:
We had just completed the STAR arrival for runways 34 and 35. Controller turned us on a base leg for runway 35 on radar vectors. He began giving us traffic for runway 35, which we did not have in sight. At that time he gave us a visual clearance to runway 34L. By the time the aircraft was turned 90 degrees to runway 34L, at the distance out, we were lined up on both runway 34L and runway 35. We tracked to runway 34L and at approximately 1 mi out the tower gave us a clearance to land runway 35. A lot of changes at the last second to 2 different runways. We did acknowledge the problem.

Title: THE BE9F FLC RECEIVED NUMEROUS TFC CALLS WHILE ON A VECTOR FOR A VISUAL APCH. WHEN THEY COULD NOT RPT THE TFC IN SIGHT, THE CTLR CLRED THEM FOR A VISUAL FOR ANOTHER RWY. AT APPROX 1 MI OUT, THE FLC WAS GIVEN A CLRNC TO LAND ON THE RWY FOR WHICH THEY WERE ORIGINALLY RECEIVING VECTORS.
Narrative: WE HAD JUST COMPLETED THE STAR ARR FOR RWYS 34 AND 35. CTLR TURNED US ON A BASE LEG FOR RWY 35 ON RADAR VECTORS. HE BEGAN GIVING US TFC FOR RWY 35, WHICH WE DID NOT HAVE IN SIGHT. AT THAT TIME HE GAVE US A VISUAL CLRNC TO RWY 34L. BY THE TIME THE ACFT WAS TURNED 90 DEGS TO RWY 34L, AT THE DISTANCE OUT, WE WERE LINED UP ON BOTH RWY 34L AND RWY 35. WE TRACKED TO RWY 34L AND AT APPROX 1 MI OUT THE TWR GAVE US A CLRNC TO LAND RWY 35. A LOT OF CHANGES AT THE LAST SECOND TO 2 DIFFERENT RWYS. WE DID ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROB.
