How to make one layer loop and one layer static? 1

[humour]

I have an interactive Flash application that prompts users and moves them backwards and forwards to different frames.

While this is happening can another layer loop? At a high level can someone please explain what I should be doing to achieve this?

A layer within one timeline cannot loop on it's own. But you can insert a looping movie clip on a layer, and if it's present on the whole length of the timeline, it will loop independently.
