When I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.

I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text “Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL \<file path\>  
[SWF] \<file path\> - 71984 bytes after decompression” and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn’t tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).

If someone could point me towards which option I inadvertently toggled I’d be very grateful. Instructions on how to return it to the previous state would be even more appreciated.
