All layers disappear when adding keyframe or tween

Question

I have 17 layers of different parts of this character's body under one folder. They're all parented. I want to add keyframe/insert tween but if I do so, every other layers will disappear. Plus, I moved the playhead to 30 (1s) and tried to make some changes with the wrap tool (W) there, but the playhead would move back to 0s.

Please help me explain. Thank you so much.

Parenting is a buggy feature, I suspect a few of these layers are corrupted already.

Try copying your symbols from the stage and paste them on a new document (don't copy the layers or the frames), select everything, right-click and choose Distribute to Layers, then try re-parenting again. Also turn off Scale, Skew and Flip propagation, as it's one of the main causes of layer corruption.

If all else fails, it's perfectly doable to animate without parenting at all and it's by far the most stable method.
