I still primarily use Flash 5 for my animation-because I find it more simple than the newer stuff, tho I use the newer ones sometimes as well. You say there are only 14 total scenes in all, but after watching your Visions1/2, I saw at least twice as many just in that half. I think you just need to divide up your scenes into smaller pieces. I have at least 300 scenes in a movie I'm currently working on (which will be released in 2 parts as well, because its gonna be half an hour long). Every time there is a new view/angle I make a new scene, so a basic scene isn't usually longer than a few seconds. This allows Flash to only load smaller sections at a time. The way most collabs work (the ones I've been in anyway) is that people put their piece into a single MovieClip, and in the final file, theres a play(); action at the end of the MC or 'play next root frame' trigger that goes to the next collab piece. The pieces are usually able to be small enough so that theres no memory issues, and if there is, the MC is just split into 2+ pieces. I animate at 18fps, and I did reach Flash's frame limit (16,000 frames as I remember), and to fix that, I just placed the final scenes into their own MC as if they were a collab piece.

You are not alone when you deal with frustrations with Flash and compilation. It took Kirbopher and I a week to put the pieces of NiN10Doh! together. I would suggest learning more about ActionScript.
