I am very new so please do not be offended by my basic questions which - despite searching the net - I could not answer.
So far I have only mastered the art of button-controlled-branching to other frames.
So yes when a user presses a button the program branches to a set of 10 slides called "slide17" (on frames 170 to 179 - keyframe = frame 170).
Now I would like to code the following:
On the background (stage image) of these frames (170-179) I want to play some animations and then - without the user pressing any buttons - return to keyframe 10 (which I called "slide1").
My thought was to tell adobe animate to
- "gotoAndPlay("slide17") - "for a certain time - (20 seconds)"
- in this time performing some motion tweens on the screen background (stage image)
- and then automatically banch to frame 10 = > gotoAndStop("slide1");
How could I code this - to "stay on a frame for a certain time" ?
Kind regards, William-Michael

Thank you for your willingess to help me.
But my questions were mainly in connection with an Adobe project which we had to finish at a due date.
This date has now been passed - so any assistance now would be too late.
Furthermore, if the news I read today is right, there will soon (31/12/2020) be no Animate support anymore by Adobe and MS Windows /Firefox etc. will soon after start with removing Flash software.
So it may not be very wothwhile to eagerly study what cannot be produced anymore.
Thank you again
Kind regards, Wiliam-Michael

animate can create quite a few file types. one file type is a swf displayed in a web browser. only support for that is ending, not support for animate nor its other file types.

there's nothing inherent in tweens of any sort that would interfere with buttons or input textfields.
if you have something that overlays a textfield or button, it obviously can interfere with interactivity. there is, at least, one easy solution: put the obstructing object(s) in a layer below the interactive object(s).
and yes, you can use the visible property of anything with an instance name to toggle visibility:
button_1.visible = false: // or true
