Basic cycling question

I'm trying to cycle a wing flap using a switch layer. I created an action for the wing flap. When I insert the action into mainline, it works. Of course, I want to loop it so it keeps running. I cycle the action and it doesn't move at all. What am I doing wrong?
If I need to upload my file, please let me know the preferred way to do that around these parts. Thanks.

in your action go to the last frame of the cycle and right click it - go to cycle, back to frame 1 (or wherever you want it to cycle to). Now when you place the action it will cycle until you put another frame in to break it. Otherwise you dont need to use an action - just do what I wrote above directly on some keys in the main timeline.
