[Flash 8]Creating Batch Effects on Text

Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum, it sounds like my question would pertain to actionscript, if not feel free to move it to an appropriate forum.

Im making a flash sing along video for my church. The format of it is really simple, black background and huge Arial white text displaying the text. I understand how to apply fade in/out effects on my text but the problem is this music video is about 30 min long, so applying a fade in/out to every frame manually is a very tedious a boring task. Is there anyway to somehow apply a 5 frame fade in/out animation on every set of text at once or somehow make the process faster?
Thanks,
Jared
