code line by line, view different sections of your ActionScript, view the values of variables and expressions, and edit variable values.
Breakpoints cannot be added to ASC (ActionScript for Communication) or JSFL (Flash JavaScript) files.

Remove a breakpoint

into function calls or step over them. You can also choose to continue executing the code without stepping.
