incompatible override - stack overflow error

[zdvdla]

can anybody explain this in newbe terms?

Btn_GemStones_mc.buttonMode = true;
Btn_GemStones_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, HomeSparkGem);
Btn_GemStones_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, HomeSparkClearGem);






Btn_GemStones_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, link_gem);

var link_gem:URLRequest = new URLRequest("

http://www.blah.net/blahblah.html")

function link_gem(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(link_gem);
}

I get

1023: Incompatible override.
1021: Duplicate function definition.

You get those errors because you are doing just that - you are defining [tt]link_gem[/tt] twice as [tt]function[/tt] and as [tt]URLRequest[/tt]. You are neither allowed to define a function twice, nor override a [tt]function[/tt] with something else such as [tt]URLRequest[/tt]. If you just change the name of one of them to something else, it will work without error.
