Transparency issues with overlapping shapes in symbols

I have a graphic/movieclip that I want to fade into an animation. But there are transparency issues on overlapping shapes. I cannot use a bitmap for this as I want to animate the objects in the movieclip and have it transition into another scene. 
This does not happen in Illustrator where you have a group of shapes and set the opcaity to 50% the whole group is set to 50%. without any overlapping issues.  Is there another workaround for this?

    Make sure you use frame effects and not instance effects; give your frame a null filter and alpha and you will get the desired result.
