Let me start by saying this is the first site I've ever built using flash and javascript.
It's slow. Like, really slow. Animations take forever... and I get that it's because there's a lot of stuff going on... but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to speed this up, short of removing the flash video...
Check it..

streaming video and audio ... herm. tampering with compression. I know you can cut out a lot on the audio stand point with out loosing too much quality. Also you can export a video and create a website around that. food for thought.

what js?
i'm only seeing an obscure flv? and if you want to speed that up, reduce the bit rate when you encode it.

You're right, it's extremely slow. How big are the Flash movies? Is the video saved as a progressively downloading separate file as it should be or part of the SWF?

i think that 19m flv is killing

'i think that 19m flv is killing'
shouldn't be a problem, you can stream much much larger flv's these days.
I would lose the slideshow pro and just build out an empty flash container to stream in the flv. slideshow is probably adding a lot of stuff you aren't using.
not seeing any js at all though. ff on xp.

what skt said above
We also use much larger flv's that stream fine.

also, check frame rate of video. Not sure what it is but if you never changed it, it may be at a standard fps of 30ish. You should bring it in at a much lower FPS, like 12 or lower if you're going BIG like that.
