2. I'm trying to import the SWF into Adobe Flash CS, but only some white dots appear?

This algorithm is compatible with the import function in Flash CS.

4. How do I slow down the animation?

When rendering an animation, you will always get the same speed as when previewing the animation.
You can render with more frames per second than needed and use a video edit tool to slow down the speed.

5. I can't open rendered videos with file size larger than 2GB?

The AVI format contains limit according to the file size.
Render smaller parts of the animation, then use a Video Edit Tool to put the parts together.
You can also render in a compressed format.
