Image Ready frustration

I'm having a problem with Image Ready that is very frustrating. I hope I can explain this well.

Whenever I'm making an animated icon and I jump back a forth between PS and IR it seems like IR is remembering the order or look of the animation I had the previous time I opened the icon there.

In other words, if I make an animated icon and then decide to change something, I go back to PS, make my changes, but when I open the icon back up in IR it's all screwed up.

EDIT: To be a little more specific. The animation palette is already in frames before I even select "make frames from layers". And all the layers in the animation palette have the same image in them instead of a different one like what is in the layers of my icon.

This is very frustrating. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And is there a way to make it stop. I'm at my wits end.

Thanks.
