Adobe Animate won’t let me paint

Using Animate and it won't let me paint. I'm using the classic brush tool and i'm in the 'Normal' brush mode but when i go to paint the srokes appear for a short second and then dissapear. Could anyone please help me out?!!

It will only let me draw in 'Object drawing mode' but this makes it awkward because every different brush stroke is then a different object. And i cannot fill in objects with the paint bucket tool. Why won't it let me paint with the normal brush drawing tool?

You are in Paint Selection mode. It's the sub-selection icon in the Properties Panel

Thank you for your response. But i am still having this problem when I am in normal selection mode

Then you're painting on the same layer as the video.  Add a new layer.
