Removing a Button Event Listener on a Specific Frame and Reactivating it on Next Frame

Question

Hi , i am trying to develop a Slideshow where Next Button needs to behave in a certain way on a specific Frame , lets say a Specific Condition is met only then Next Button would work , I have been able to achieve that but problem is the Button Retains its Event Listener even on the next Frame , whereas  i have already included removeEventListener on the next frame with a new Function for the button , but its doesnt take it like that.
Can anyone help please ?

Hello Ned,
I have fixed the issue with few Frame , but where we have the conditions to be met on two consecutive frames , I am not able to achieve that.
here is the Code on my first Frame.
FRAME1
stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
mc_prog.width = 0;

//SLIDE COUNTER
and here is the Code on all the Frames where I need to call in specific Listeners
FOR EXAMPLE ON FRAME 8,9,10,
Here Is the Code ,
FRAME 8
stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
count = 0;
backcounter = 0;
btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);
//btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);
FRAME 9
stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
//POPUP FUNCTION
count = 0;
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);
FRAME 10
stop();
slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
count = 0;
backcounter = 0;
btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);
I am repeating this Pattern on each frame set where I need these Listeners ,
Problem is with the next one where I have two consecutive frames have different conditions to meet, any ideas how would I disable and enable listeners respectively on these frames ?
I hope I am not confusing this very much ?;(
