The trick with flash is generally not to use flash. use mtasc/swfmill or flex, that and well the flash renderer is so poop that you get the best performance by ignoring it and building games that mostly use the bitmap functions to composite bitmaps manually each frame. Also do not search the internets for code examples ever that is all :) Some top tips.

Alternatively you can crank up the frame rate as high as it can go (120 i think) and artificially slow down everything (as described above) which would give you a tad more control, but is just as clunky. You might also try exporting the sub clips as separate swfs and importing them into the movie but im not sure that will work.
