The routines to do this are already in there.
viewer.setDisplayModelIndex(modelIndex)
where modelIndex is in the range 0 through (viewer.getModelCount() - 1)
To map from modelNumber to modelIndex you can use:
viewer.getModelNumberIndex(modelNumber)

Be advised that if you try to handle this yourself then you may encounter
some difficulties that (perhaps) you have not anticipated.
You are going to have to set up a timer so that you know when to change
frames. But you cannot do all this in the swing user-interface thread.
That thread needs to return control so that other user actions can be
handled.
Therefore, you will need to spawn another thread to handle your slide
show. I suspect that is more work than you have anticipated. Programming
correctly with threads is *not* easy, in spite of what the java tutorials
say.
You indicated that you wanted to be notified of frame change. I think it
would be better for us to put that notification in, because then other
pieces of the UI (animation/vibration/?) could benefit from the same
thing.
