Debug
Debug commands give you tools to play back your movie and, at the same time, examine the inner workings of the timeline, object properties, and ActionScript code.

Debug Movie
Windows: Ctrl+Shift+Enter
Mac: Shift-⌘-Return
Plays your animation while displaying information in the Debugger window, where you can monitor the list of objects and variables your animation and ActionScript are using.

Continues playback after being stopped by the debugger.

Mac: Option-F12
Stops the debugging session and stops playback of the animation.

Windows: Alt+F8
Mac: Option-F8
