How do I drop an item in the timeline to animate?

Finally figured out how to select the object from the scene.  It is better to have the moving obeject on their own top later in Illustrator so that you can easily select it in Animate.

But now when I select the object to create a tween the entire rest of the drawing disappears from the scene and leave no reference to work on the movements. 

Character Animator is a much easier app to work with instead of Animate.

I want to learn Animate and see how it works with the use of buttons to do interaction.... but really has been a rough start with Animate not taking drawings from my Illustrator library among other incompatible points from Illustrator..

I get the feeling that Adobe might not be pushing for the use of Animate all that much.... even if I still want to learn it..... but on the other hand I might just convert the Illustrator files to SVG, do a little point A to point B movements, and figure out the buttons interaction direct on html... 

I would suggest to Adobe to keep their Apps some what similar.... the layer set up and timeline work very differently from Character Animator than from Animate...  Animate is a pain in the butt on top of having to figure out the glitches of incompatibility that they don't tell you about..
