Wncads,
Thanks for responding!
But once again, your question is a bit ambiguous...
You can use/have several movie clips (I call them mcs for short) in one movie, usually refered to as the .swf. But you can also load several .swfs into your main .swf, for other purposes. You could also have 2 or more .swfs embedded in one single html page, all communicating with each other!
In your case, I believe you're (and so was Pixl8r...) talking about one simple movie clip (could be 3, one for each picture, but depending, could also be all in only one mc!) running independantly in one main movie or .swf... So that is why to me, your phrase: "i have never combined two movies to run together on the same page at the same time" is a bit ambiguous!
If you've managed to create your photo mc(s) and are satisfied with it or with them (don't worry, you can allways go back and correct, duplicate or change any one of them!), you'll notice that they appear in the library (CTRL L). You won't animate your photos in layers in the main movie... What you'll be doing is dragging each one of your already animated photo mcs from the library to the stage each one on it's own layer (for sake of clariry!) so that these movie clips (mcs) can run independantly of the main movie, because there's absolutely no way to have only some layers loop while the rest of them don't. These mcs layers should be as long as the longest layer in your movie, otherwise they will dissapear at one point.
Please note also that if the animation cycle of your photo mcs is shorter than the main movie's lenght, you may have to make these mcs loop on their own, otherwise they will play once and just sit there unanimated, for the rest of the main movie's lenght, and that would happen even if you looped your main movie.
Are you getting a better understanding of all of this? Or are my efforts useless? Surely you will have more questions!
