You could use ActionScript to manage the position of the playhead in the timeline and therefore manipulate the speed the animation plays.
e.g. With a clip with a 48 frame animation... If you advance the playhead to the next frame (using script) 24 times a second then your animation completes in 2 seconds If you advance the playhead to the next frame 12 times a second then the animation takes 4 seconds (but will perhaps look like slow mo') If you advance the playhead 2 frames 12 times a second the animation takes 2 seconds again I've never actually done this myself but I've encountered the technique a few times. Alex Uhlman's Animation Package includes classes for managing this for you and even lets you apply easing to an existing timeline animation.
