In order to make fading (and other features) available to an image,
you'll have to convert the image to a symbol first. Drag the image to the
Stage, and with the image selected, use Modify > Convert to Symbol from the
menu bar. You'll get a dialog box that lets you give the image a symbol
name, which is what it will show up as in the Library, and choose a symbol
type. Movie clip or graphic will do.
When the image is a symbol, you'll see new choices in the Property
inspector when you select the symbol. Among them, you'll find a Color drop
down. Use that.
