Flash CS3 or above can export .mov's out of Flash even with Actionscript. however, the AS would need to be time defined not interactive. You should see an option to stop exporting after a certain time has elapsed.
I recall exporting from CS2 was a pain even with a simple timeline.
^ stewart is correct, the notice at the end looks like an error but its not. Threw me the first time too.

I do this quite often, always a problem.
Until recently I was using SnapzPro (capturing at 5fps) converting back to 30fps in PS but I could never be really sure if Snapz was in the right codec or dropping frames... Now I'm back to bootcamp and using the ancient swf2avi.exe, to convert frames - BMP. then switch back and open the image sequence in Quicktime.
There's bound to be an easy way to do this in a flex/air app? something that allows you to import a SWF, adjust frame rate, export bitmap sequences?

I've had mixed results - When doing a piece that was going into movie theatres (I didn't have time to re-familiarize myself with After Effects), I exported my swf to .mov. They required no compression, but every time I exported it and viewed it, the animation was choppy as hell, and didn't sync.
I had better results adding compression, but that lowered the quality. I ended up just sending one that didn't work well on my machine, and it was perfect for the theatre - go figure. maybe your file will work for the client, or where ever it's going.
