Go back/next frame label

Question

Hi:
How can I code a button that goes back to the previous frame
label and another that goes to the next frame label?
I know about prevFrame() and nextFrame(), but I need
something similar that references the next/previous named label and
not the frame number... Any ideas?
thank you,
Rafael.

I don't think someone who is 'new to flash' will not be able to get this by just having the attributes and properties mentioned.  (If you can do that, you're pretty good at it already). Maybe someone can help me with this simple test Flash (which should serve as a begineer tutorial).  (If you are a Flexer, I have made a Flash timeline with three Frame Labelled sections: "One", "Two" and "Three".  Each has two buttons ("nextButton" and "prevButton") along with a text number on the stage, denoting which frame section we are on).  Here is the Actionscript code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
nextButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNext)
function onNext(event:MouseEvent):FrameLabel
gotoAndStop(nextFrame);
prevButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPrev)
function onPrev(event:MouseEvent):FrameLabel
gotoAndStop(prevFrame);
With this, I get the error:"ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label function Function() {} not found in scene Scene 1."  I think this means that I'm supposed to define a function (is it the function that calls my FrameLabel array?).  How do I do this?
