I am having an issue with navigation in Adobe Animate CC 2020. I have not used Animate with any coding since the early Flash days and I have a project that requires as simple navigation of a Back and Foward Buttons that will allow to move through the timeline. The problem I am having is everything works great the first time through each button either moves foward to the correct frame and stops on the next frame with the buttons or goes backwards appropriately. Where the problem occurs is once you you have moved foward or backwards with all of the buttons at least once, all of the back buttons no longer work properly and don't stop on the intended frame and instead just loop back to the frame the button is on. Is there something I am doing wrong? Below is the layer set up code for each frame.
Actions Layer - Has all of the actions for the buttons and a this.stop() on every 5 frames so the buttons only advance or go back to the next or previous instance.
Button Layer - Every 5 frames is a new keyframe with the new button instance
ID Layer - just the text of the buttons to show forward or backwards. It is consitant through out the 20 frame test

Again this all works perfectly fine the first time through but the minute one of the back buttons is used a second time it breaks and will no longer stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
