Smoothing doesn't always make motion smooth, especially slow motion. The issue with slow motion is that Flash is going to smooth the image when it's resting on floating point numbers (ie. x = 46.9 instead of 47). But sometimes with slow motion, the image is moving at even smaller increments than that, and that's when you get the jerky movement.
But, here are my thoughts...
PNG is Flash's preferred and recommended image type. You should use PNG. Maybe try re-exporting the PNG out of Photoshop using "Save for Web and Devices", use a 24 bit PNG.
To see if smoothing is working, while in the IDE zoom into the image and check the edge of the image. (If you're loading the image dynamically but am still using the check box, just drag an instance onto the stage so you can see if it's being applied). When you zoom in, the edge should be blurred, not crisp. If it's not then it's not working.
Maybe even try bringing in the png with a couple of pixels of transparency on the outer edge. Maybe even try bringing it in at the exact same size as the other images.
Another test I would make is to speed up the animation and see what happens, see if image smoothing is working then.
Keep narrowing down the possibilities...
