I must be missing something very obvious.

I have created a movie that draws a box, fills in the box with color and then is supposed to have the menu swoop in from the right. Mind you this is for learnnig, not cosmetic appeal 😉 Why is it when I use tweens I get the dotted line versus a solid line in the time line?

If you take a peek at the FLA it is obvious what I am referring to. I must be using the tween function or symbols in an improper manner.

I have attached the FLA.  
Any help appreciated.  
Thanks,
