I thought it would be better having a totally new answer for it.

The easiest way i have found is to edit flashtimeline.xml, find and change the following:

          <module name="Count" layoutPanel="pageControls">
            <param name="options">
              <list>
                <param name="text">10</param>
                <param name="value">10</param>
              </list>
              <list>
                <param name="text">20</param>
                <param name="value">20</param>
              </list>
              <list>
                <param name="text">50</param>
                <param name="selected">True</param>
                <param name="value">50</param>
              </list>
            </param>

You can either add one more <list> with the necessary <param name> and have it go to 500 or modify one of the above ones.
Something like:

          <list>
            <param name="text">500</param>
            <param name="selected">True</param>
            <param name="value">500</param>
          </list>

Should do the trick.

Hope this helps,

PS. make sure you make a backup of the flashtimeline.xml file before trying to edit the file.
