Hi pointseven,
As your images are every 250 ms, you don't need any labels.
sym.stop() triggers at each label are useless as well : instead of using sym.play() and sym.playReverse() (there is nothing to play ), just use sym.stop(<ms>). You get the current position in the timeline via sym.getPosition().
Suppose four images at 0, 250, 500 and 750 ms and two buttons named prev and next.
Stage > compositionReady event handler :
sym.stop();
sym.$('prev').hide();
next > click event handler :
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() +250);
sym.$('prev').show(); // just after moving one slide forward, it makes sense moving backward
if (sym.getPosition() == 750) // last image
  sym.$('next').hide();
prev > click event handler :
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() -250);
sym.$('next').show();
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
  sym.$('prev').hide();
Instead of hiding/showing the buttons, you could set their opacity. A hidden button is not clickable, but a button with reduced opacity is, hence a test at the begining of the click event handlers.
Stage > compositionReady event handler :
sym.stop();
sym.$('prev').css('opacity','0.5');
next > click event handler :
if (sym.getPosition() == 750)
  return; // click not processed
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() +250);
sym.$('prev').css('opacity','1');
if (sym.getPosition() == 750)
  sym.$('next').css('opacity','0.5');
prev > click event handler :
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
  return;
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() -250);
sym.$('next').css('opacity','1');
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
  sym.$('prev').css('opacity','0.5');
