Assuming AE 6.5/6.0 --

Composition -> New Composition

Then drag and drop your layers, and arrange for whichever's on top.

Remember it has to be in a format which can take alpha channels... for an animation, I prefer to have a copy of "Quicktime Pro" and string them together through that program, saving them as "millions of colors+", the plus being the alpha channel.

You may need to align the images -- they may not automatically be centered correctly.

P.S. -- if you don't have an alpha channel -- it'll be too hard to bother trying to string 'em together... re-render (else After Effects will not know where the hell the bottom layer's supposed to show through... and all you'll see is whatever's on top... which will most likely be a lot of black.)
