Linking Button to PDF

Question

Hi guys, so I am definitely new at AS3 and Flash in general, but I have to do a project for work that requires me to build a portion of a website in Flash. I need to link a button to a PDF document that will be stored on our site on the internet. So far I have been able to successfully write code that allows me to link one of the buttons:
var pdfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/Other/LetterDaniels.pdf");
//PDF Link
function pdfLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(pdfURL,"_blank");
{Text.daniels_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pdfLink);
Then I simply copied and paste this code and change it for the second button:
var pdfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/Other/LetterDaniels.pdf"); (line 1)
//PDF Link (line 4)
function pdfLink(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(pdfURL,"_blank");
{Text.daniels_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pdfLink); (line 9)
var pdfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/Other/LetterColnar.pdf");
//PDF Link
function pdfLink(event:MouseEvent):void { (line 16)
    navigateToURL(pdfURL,"_blank");
{Text.colnar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pdfLink);
When I do so, however, I get a series of error messages:
Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 12    1151: A conflict exists with definition pdfURL in namespace internal.
Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 16    1021: Duplicate function definition.
ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 1    5000: The class 'fl.core.ComponentShim' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 1    5000: The class 'fl.containers.UILoader' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
Can someone please help me with the code so that I can get rid of these error messages? I basically need three buttons to link to three different PDF files:
Text.daniels_btn to images/Other/LetterDaniels.pdf
Text.colnar_btn to images/Other/LetterColnar.pdf
Text.hansen_btn to images/Other/LetterHansen.pdf
Thanks!!

Answer 1

to keep it simple you should use three different named functions and three different named Variables:
function pdfLink1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(pdfURL1,"_blank");
function pdfLink2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(pdfURL2,"_blank");
function pdfLink3(event:MouseEvent):void {
    navigateToURL(pdfURL3,"_blank");
