VERY simple tween problem that is fustrating me!

I want a picture to go from 0 alpha to 100 (fade in) and move to the right. I convert it to a movie clip and make a motion tween and move it to the right. i set the image to 0% alpha on the first frame of the tween. For some reason the image just doesn’t set to 0% alpha when i set it to that! I tried to break it apart but i think you have to have a symbol in order to put a motion tween on it. I have no clue why but i cant make it fade in and move. Any suggestions… I HAVE LOOKED everywhere… I cant figure it out.
