Animation works in preview, and breaks once inserted into a page as .oam

Question

I built a simple animation that allows a user to step forward and backward through the timeline. I was able to leverage code from the Edge blog, so I'm pretty sure it's solid. The animation even previews well, but when I publish to .oam and reference the file from a different directory, the animation suddenly breaks. I really don't know what to do.
I've tried creating a blank page in the same directory as the .oam file, and it is still breaking.
When I say it breaks, what is happening is it appears a specific point in the timeline where an element should fade out, but it doesn't. Instead it remains as the other elements continue to work properly.
Any ideas how to test this problem?
Here is the code for my "back" button:
var current = sym.getVariable("current");
   if (current != "start") {
      sym.getSymbol("the_wheel").playReverse();
   else {
      sym.getSymbol("the_wheel").playReverse("end");
sym.setVariable("current", "the_wheel");

Hi Sarah,
I uploaded fresh files. Sorry, I have so many versions right now, it's hard to keep things straight.

I'm testing on Mac and PC:
Mac: Safari and Chrome (both up to date)
PC: Firefox, Chrome and IE (all up to date)
Note: the files TEST from Edge just fine. It's only when I publish to the .oam file, insert the link into my page and test it that way that the animation breaks.
When navigating forward or backward through the animation, the color bars that are in between the light blue circle and the darker arrows should fully fade in to a light color and fully fade out to white as the next light bar fades in. When you navigate backward and reach the dark blue arrow, and click back again to reach the yellow-orange arrow, the light blue bar gets stuck when fading to the yellow-orange bar. Here is a screen grab.
The light blue bar should fade completely to white, but does not until you navigate back and reach the dark orange arrow. I hope that makes sense .
Thanks for your help and attention!
