How to fade a symbol instance out and in on the Timeline

I am using Flash Professional CC 2014 on a Mac running Yosemite. I am a Flash novice.
I want to fade out the oval and photo, then fade it back in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... thanks in advance!

It's a pretty straight forward process. Make sure whatever you want to fade out is on it's own layer. Select the layer on frame you want it to start and hit F6. That will create a keyframe. Then go to the last frame of the frame reange and create another keyframe (F6) Finally go to the spot you want it to fade out and select that frame and also hit F6. Now click the middle keyframe again and right click on it, then select Classic Tween. From there you can go to the properties box which should be on the right sides there. If not you can go up to Windows>Properties and the box will show up. Once in the Properties box simply select Color and then select Alpha from the pull down menu and slide the slider to 0%. Now when you play the timeline (Enter) it will start full 100%, fade and then fade back in again. If you want to have the picture stay full 100% for a bit then fade then fade back up and then stay that way you would create two keyframes for as long as you want the  pic to stay 100% and THEN create your keyframe to turn the alpha to 0% I hope this helps! for what it's worth you can find a lot of tutorials here: Learn Flash | Hexjibber
