The timeout is keeping a reference to the instance of your frame script --
see the line

So while the timeout exists, an instance of the frame script will exist
(and it wont be destroyed when you leave the frame with the script).
To achieve what you want, you probably don't need to use a timeout - just
something like this
property mytime
on beginSprite me
mytime = the milliseconds + howEverLongYouWantToHoldOnTheFrame
end
on exitframe me
if the milliseconds < mytime then go to the frame
end
