I'll read the tutorial. And yes, that did make a difference, but still no cigar. Now, instead of mcHatAndFace having an alpha of 0 through the whole movie, it has an alpha of 100! Please advise.
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]);
import com.greensock.easing.*;
TweenLite.to(mcHatAndFace, 1, {autoAlpha:100}); // 2nd param in seconds; 3rd in % alpha
