Just ran into the flash 16,000 frame/layer/symbol 'wall'

i want to create a 60 minute presentation in flash that runs on a laptop to TV’s through the HDMI out. i just came across flash’s 16,000 frame limit, so, now i need to find something that’ll work best for my needs. from what i’ve read so far, would exporting the various swf scenes to After Effects and stitch them together there be best for this project? i know nothing about AE, but, it seems to be the choice. can anyone offer some ideas?

thanks!!
