Export layers as PNG or JPEG image sequence?

Is there any way to export layers as image sequence?

For example i have five layers. Layer one would be frame one, layer two would be frame two, and so on.

I think the closest that ive come to this is jumping to image ready, making an animation and exporting as a GIF of a Quicktime mov. This is close to what i want, and i want the ability to export as a sequential jpeg or PNG series.

Im using PS 6.0 though, if newer versions of PS support this im sold. Lemme know -TOny

From Photoshop CS specs:

VIDEO

Non-square pixel support
Create and work with different aspect ratios to accommodate non-square pixels without distortion.

Guide presets
Easily design using video-specific presets that show action-safe and title-safe areas of the screen.

Enhanced 16-bit compositing
Perform more precise matte painting, 3D rendering, and other advanced film compositing with expanded support for 16-bit images in core features, including layers, brushes, and more.

Layers-to-files export
Quickly integrate layered Photoshop artwork with a variety of video editing and compositing systems using the built-in Export Layers to Files command.

This can be accomplished quite easily using scripting. I believe there is even an existing script that you could alter to save as whatever format you wish. However, you will need a minimum of version 7 - but I recommend CS - to accomplish this.
