I want to divide a circle into 5 equal segments such that each segment will be on it's own layer. In general I want to create a loading animation that would consist of 5 images with number of visible segments increasing in each of them.

So far I've managed to draw a segmented circle following this question:
How do I divide a circle into equal parts like a pie chart with Adobe Illustrator? but I have no idea how to split segments into layers.

Basic steps...

Create the divided circle with the Polar Grid Tool

Use the Live Paint Bucket Tool to fill the wedges (this turns the shapes into objects rather than a circle with lines through it)

Expand the Live Paint Group by clicking the Expand button on the Control bar

Object > Ungroup several times so that everything is ungrouped.

Then Release to Layers in the Layers Panel Menu to create a layer for each wedge.
