I haven't used flash in a long time, but am doing some work in it now... So
this might be a stupid question... But I can't see the stage boundaries at
all! I remember the stage being a white box on a gray background (the
pasteboard), but now all I get is a sea of white. Am I forgetting some view
option somewhere? I'm using CS3 now, maybe something's changed... If I turn
off "view pasteboard" I can see the stage perfectly, but can't use the
pasteboard properly! Thanks--

Maybe you're just zoomed in? You'll see the Stage zoom dropdown next to
the controls for Workspace, Edit Scenes, and Edit Symbols. Try something
like "Fit in Window" or "Show Frame".

That hasn't changed. It really just sounds like you're zoomed in.
