Editing Material and applying an Image as the Texture 1

[who8myrice123]

Hey guys, I'm trying to replace the texture of B&W Tiling material with an Image using a Cubical Mapping. This will allow me to trace a drawing and thereby create a 3D model of it.
My problem is that I can't flip the Image within the texture. I've boxed the properties I'm referring to in the image below. As you can see, the Flip U and V are greyed out and I'm not sure why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Do not choose B&W Tiling, instead choose the material Other/DSStar and it should work.
Something like this:

Thanks for your response, Iscariot (I gave it a star). I watched the video and learnt a neat trick from it.
