Yeah, if you just open an animated GIF in Photoshop you only get a single index layer which Photoshop sees as a sinlge frame GIF. If you save as GIF from there it'll be a small inanimate GIF.
To do it in Photoshop you have to first open it in ImageReady, then use the jump to Photoshop button and then PS will see all the frames as layers. Then you have to click save for web and you'll get to the optimization options that come up from the start when you open it ImageReady, lol.
ImageReady is much more suited for web stuff, rollovers, links, animations and whatnot; Photoshop is more for high-end print based still graphics. Photoshop can do a lot of web based stuff too, but ImageReady is designed for that kind of thing specifically, to compliment Photoshop. That's why they come bundled together.
