Answer
Nothing like that abhi,

Till you created layers is ok

but after that you don’t need to save each layer and it will not saved also, the only thing you need to do is to create layers and in animations window define each layer as one frame (take new frame for each layer, open one and close the rest of 3 for each frame, i.e. frame 1 - layer 1, frame 2-layer-2...and so on..).

After that press enter to see the result, and if you need to modify change it here, once you are comfortable with the result, click 'save for web' Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S


Hope this will help, feel free to ask anything further
