Looping Slideshow/Frames initiated by FWD/REV buttons?

Question

How do I code the logic to create a slideshow that plays nextFrame() or prevFrame() using eventListeners for FWD and REW/REV buttons?
so far I have something like:
function fwdPlay(e:MouseEvent):void{
     nextFrame();
     if(currentLabel=="last"){
          gotoAndStop("first");
function rewPlay(e:MouseEvent):void{
     prevFrame();
     if(currentLabel=="first"){
          gotoAndStop("last");
For some reason these two functions seem to cancel each other out.  If I take out the second if statement in rewPlay then it will loop with the first fwdPlay function but the rewPlay button will reach an endpoint at the frame "first".
How can I fix this?

once you have those 4 frames labeled, use:
function fwdPlay(e:MouseEvent):void{
     if(currentLabel=="last"){
          gotoAndStop("first");
     } else{
nextFrame();
function rewPlay(e:MouseEvent):void{
     if(currentLabel=="first"){
          gotoAndStop("last");
     } else {
prevFrame()
