flash 8 newbie, working on my first projects.

I have a banner where I bring in text. I set up the motion tween, and it works when I scrub the timeline. But the transition in transparency (from 0 to 50%) doesn’t come through when published. Instead, the text is 100%.

Any ideas why this isn’t working?  
here is the first version.
