so flash SWFs are limited at 16000 frame limit. What is the best way around this?

dropping frame rate to 15 fps helps somewhat (makes a longer duration) but even with that the limit falls somewhere around 16 min.

Does anyone know if multiple scenes or slides is a workaround for this? ie. can you make one scene 15000 long, then another 15000 long, etc? Or do I have to have multiple SWFs loading one after another (1a, 1b, 1c)? I know FLV’s don’t have the frame limit but this animation will be way tinier as SWF due to just vectors for most part.

thanks
