Are you trying to fade the text or the background dots? Either way, you should have them both be on separate layers. Don’t combine the text with the background lines, etc.

Any success? Basically, you could remove the motion tween from all of the frames, and start over with your text being in one layer and the background graphic being in another layer. That should fade text graphic in and out the way you like it to 🙂
