Can't find all of the preferences on Flash Pro

So I start up Flash Pro CC on my Win 8 machine and now I seem to have Span Based Selection turned on. I don't want it on. I read that I change this in the general preferences.

Here is what the preferences dialogue panel looks like:

This is what the official Adobe manual says:

Set General preferences
On Launch
    Specify which document opens...
Undo levels
    To set the number of undo...
Workspace
    To open a new document tab in...
[b]Selection
    To control how multiple elements are selected, select or deselect Shift Select. When Shift Select is off, clicking additional elements adds them to the current selection. When Shift Select is on, clicking additional elements deselects other elements unless you hold down the Shift key.[/b]

    Shows tooltips when the pointer.

Open in new window

I can find the Undo Levels, and Workspace, where do I find the rest?

Thanks for your research. Actually, the screen grab of the preferences panel is lifted from the "big manual."

I forgot about the Ctrl/Cmd click and was looking for a simple click.
