Convert it into a movie clip then use something along the line of

onClipEvent (load) {  
fade=true  
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_alpha\>0&&fade==true) {  
\_alpha–  
} else {  
fade=false  
\_alpha=0  
\_visible=false  
}  
}

Setting \_visible=false is better than \_alpha=0 as your video card has to render \_alpha=0 (and you’ll see the shadow in 16 colour) and it’ll slow down playback on large images or if used on multiple occasions
