Rock,
Generally speaking, you don't want to take something in Flash - which is
excellent in creating compressed, reduced frame rate animated files
which are web friendly - and toss that into a Video editing environment.
Video expects a 30 frame per second interlaced signal. Flash is more at
home creating compressed "web friendly" files at a variety of frame
rates that are outside the video standard.
So mixing Flash and video files is kinda asking for trouble.
It can be done if you're VERY careful about making sure the the Flash
frame sizes, rates and colors are video compatible - but it would be
more typical to do your video editing, compositing, and titles in your
video editing software - and once you have everything finished - then
output the final work through Flash for your web clips.
If by "end result is a TV ad" you mean you're trying to create broadcast
video rather than a web stream - there's NO reason to use Flash at all.
Any quality non-linear editing software will run rings around Flash for
all parts of the production process and adding Flash stuff to the mix
will likely be a total waste of time.
Good luck.
