(the first frame is the bottom layer, the second frame is the layer above it,
and so on.

You need to choose to make new frames for your animation from the layers you made in Photoshop. Do this in the pull-down menu of the Animation window.
You should see the frames spread out across the window in sequential order.
Note: you can use the play
button on the bottom of the window to test your animation.
6. Choose the number of seconds between frames in the settings on the bottom of each picture in the Animation window.
7. Select if you want the
animated gif to loop or play only once.

As from the File Menu to save the final animated gif.
Name it and put it where you want. That's it. You can test it by dropping it in a browser.
