Where is console in Flash Builder 4.7

I'm new to ActionScript development and am trying to create a simple Hello World program. Here is the code:

package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class HelloWorld extends Sprite
    {
        public function HelloWorld()
        {
            trace("Hello World");
        }
    }
}

Then I try to run this and a blank white window pops up. But at the bottom of FB there is no Console window! I tried going to Window->Show View->other->Console and that puts a console tab at the bottom of FB but it now looks like there are several types of Consoles: Java stack trace console, Maven console etc. I just want to debug my program and see my trace output. What do I do?

    Please make sure you Debug and not Run your project (in Windows shortcut is F11)
