Forward/Backward Button Scripting

Question

I'm trying to script a forward button and a backward button.  I want it to go forward one frame when clicked, and the backward button to g backward one frame when clicked.  Nothing I type is working.  Can someone help me, please?

i'm sure what you want but try:
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,forwardF);
backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,backwardF);
function forwardF(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(this.currentFrame<1945){  // ie, forward button stops advancing frames at frame 1945
this.nextFrame();
function backwardF(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(this.currentFrameLabel!="Map"){  // ie, previous button works for all frames except the one labeled "Map".
this.prevFrame();
