I wouldn't. I would use jquery for that.
as someone who has in the past made both flash slideshows and simple scripted ones.
the flash ones are so much more frustrating to make. take longer, and are harder to update. thats not even taking into account the whole heap of pain that the end user has to endure when flash is forced upon them. dont do it.

it is very simple.
1. link to the jquery library in the <head> of the document.
HTML: 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
2. search for a jquery slideshow, find one you like the look of.
this was the first one I found

3. Download the zip file and extract it. usually there is an index.html page that has info on how to install, or the site you downloaded it from would have instructions. or it will have a readme.txt. follow the prompts.

4. link the scripts and css to your html document

5. add the hook.

6. open in your browser and test
