How to automate two images in a continual loop

Question

I'm a newbie to Flex and would like to take two images that I have and basically display them in the same spot one after another in a continuous loop (cheap automation?).  I looked into different effects like Fade, but am stumped how to do something like this in continuous loop.  Most samples show different effects as a result of clicking a button or mousing over an image ...  thanks!

Hope this helps..
