Img = (If[# < somevalue, code to produce motion for first part, code to produce motion for second part ] )& /@ Range[timevalues] Another way to look at this is to write your separate animations to two separate lists (say a1 & a2), join those lists (to form say a3) to for a single list list which contains all your images. You can then display this list (Show[#]& /@ a3) and animate the cell (using Control-Y). I also suggest looking at the ElasticCollision notebook on Dave Park's web site (http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/Mathematica.html) as an excellent example along the lines of what I think you're trying to do.
