Multilayered Animated Images/Real Time Animated PVs - Help?

So I'm making a rhythm minigame and I wanted to have real time animated PVs with music playing over them. I wanted to have a separate .rpy file for the PVs, and a PV would be shown depending on what song is playing. Here's a little bit of concept:
Code: Select all
label rhythm_game_start:
if song == "000":
play "000.ogg"
show image pv_000
if song == "001":
play "001.ogg"
show image pv_001
## ect, ect...
And for the defined PV:
Code: Select all
image hachune:
"images/pv/000/image1.png"
pause .2
"images/pv/000/image2.png"
pause .2
repeat
image pv_000:
"image"
"bg.png"
I then realized this attempt wouldn't work because it could only show 1 image at a time, or at least I could only get it to show one image at a time. I tried to do a layered image, but the page was really old and I couldn't get it to work, either. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure I have correctly understood you, but it sounds to me like that you want to do is to play music and have a character move to the music. If so, the simplest way to do that would in my mind be to play a video.

Well, that would be simple, but I don't have any video editing software that is actually good (I have windows movie maker). I just want multiple images shown on screen at the same time, but defined as the same image. That sounds kind of confusing... sorry x(

I could point your way to a couple of good and free video editing and animation programs if you would consider going that way.
What I think that you do want to do is something like a video; that is a number of frames that are shown one after the other. (and at the same time play music)
But you also want to, in the game, build each frame from a number of different images. You do not want to pre-build each frame and include them as images in your build.
Is that correctly understanding what you want to do?
What is a 'PV'?? My first reference is an old model of a Volvo car, but I don't think that is it.
