Too many vectors?

Hi All

Im making an illustration and Im having a few problems in Flash. I’ve made quite an elaborate vector drawing of a figure in Photoshop which has been exported to Illustrator and then copy and pasted into Flash. My problem is that selecting the lines or filling any of the shapes takes up to 30 seconds which is ridiculous. I have done this before without this problem. Opening up previous files proves this.

Any ideas on how to speed things up?
