Answer 1

Here is the example of overriding :
/* PARENT CLASS */
package com.example.supreclass {
     public class parentClass {
          public function parentClass() {
          public function fromParent(myString:String):void {
               trace("Output :", myString);
/* DERIVED CLASS */
package com.example.supreclass {
     public class myExample extends parentClass {
          public function myExample() {
          /* Override the method */
          override public function fromParent(outputStr:String):void {
               super.fromParent(outputString);
               trace("Override example");
Overriding means redefining the inherited method (the parent method still can be invoked using 'super', as shown in example )
These links should give you some idea on these :

Overloading means having many functions with same name but each differs by parameters it takes (either by data type or number of parameters passed) and return value.
