2. Set breakpoints as needed.
If you fast-forwarded to this section and don’t know how to set breakpoints
or, for that matter, don’t know what they are, read the previous section.
3. Choose Debug➪Debug Movie.
The Flash workspace is reconfigured to show the debug options (see
Figure 1-3). The debugging workspace is divided into five panels:
• The Debug console: Has the controls you use to debug the movie.
• The Variables panel: Displays values for parameters, such as the size
of an object and its current position.
• The panel to the right of the Debug console: Displays symbols and scenes.
• Your script: Lies directly beneath the list of symbols and scenes lists
the breakpoints.
• The Output panel: Displays information about the tasks being per-
formed by the Debugger.
