Test does not follow guidelines properly?

I'm a newbie to adobe animate so it's probably an easy fix.  I'm playing around with simple bouncing ball animations to get used to the program but am encountering a problem when I attempt to tween a ball bouncing across the screen using guidelines.  It works perfectly when I hit play in the timeline but when I hit ctrl-enter to test it, something quite strange happens.  The ball, instead of following the guidelines like it does in the timeline, flies around the screen seemingly randomly, completely ignoring the set guidelines.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out.  I'll leave this post up for anyone else who struggled with this.  The solution is to make sure you use an exclusively ball graphic symbol instead of copying the ball off of any previous animation you did with it.  It seems that Adobe was attempting to combine two unrelated animations.

Guidelines? Do you mean a guide layer? I very much doubt copying a symbol from another library would have any effect on a symbol following guides or not.
