We observe that the fully nonlinear evolution equations of Rosenau and Hymann, often abbreviated as $K(n,\,m)$ equations, can be reduced to Hamiltonian form only on a zero-energy hypersurface belonging to some potential function associated with the equations. We treat the resulting Hamiltonian equations by the dynamical systems theory and present a phase-space analysis of their stable points. The results of our study demonstrate that the equations can, in general, support both compacton and soliton solutions. For the $K(2,\,2)$ and $K(3,\,3)$ cases one type of solutions can be obtained from the other by continuously varying a parameter of the equations. This is not true for the $K(3,\,2)$ equation for which the parameter can take only negative values. The $K(2,\,3)$ equation does not have any stable point and, in the language of mechanics, represents a particle moving with constant acceleration.
