make use of Timer function
var myTimer:Timer;
//  timer_length=length_img;          //Total number of images in xml.
and with each timer inteeval counter is increased by one to get the next image.
Here is one sample.
var xmlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("images.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(xmlReq);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadXML);
function loadXML(e:Event)
    xml=new XML(e.target.data);
    length_img=xml.*.length();//Total no of images...
    //timer event is called on the COMPLETE event of the xml when the xml is loaded
    //then the timer event is called....
     timer();   
    loadImage();
  function timer()
    //to store the timer event.
     timer_length=length_img;
    myTimer=new Timer(7000,timer_length);
    //5000 means 5 sec delay and timer_length is the no of times this timer work.In this case it should work only up to the total no of images.Suppose       //  images are 12 in xml then timer will work 12 times.
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeLine);
    myTimer.start();
    function timeLine(e:TimerEvent):void
    //event listener of timer event.
    loadImage();
    counter=counter+1;
     function loadImage()
    //Loads the image by this function and various effects added here.
            urlImage=xml.image[counter].imgURL;
            var imgReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest(urlImage);
            //loads the image url and image in this request.
            imgLoader=new Loader();
            imgLoader.load(imgReq);
            //Loads the image in loader.
            mc_container.addChild(imgLoader);
            //loads the image in the mc_container movie.
            }//ends the load image function.
