question about pdf loading

Question

I am making a SWF with a menu to load a list of PDFs. My code is giving me issues. I have two PDFs in the list and when I click each they both load the same thing even though they are calling to different files and they are both different buttons with different instances. Here is my code:

hammer_crusher_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);

crush_retro_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);

function goPDF(event:MouseEvent):void

{

var url:String = "Brochures/Crushing/EVHammerImpactCrusherlowres.pdf";

var url:String = "Brochures/Crushing/EVcrusherretrofit.pdf";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

navigateToURL(request);

}

When I test the SWF I get this error:

Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 10, Line 7 Warning 3596: Duplicate variable definition.

I dont know how else to write this. If someone could show me what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it. Thanks.

the second bit of code i have tried that still wont work right is:

hammer_crusher_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);

function goPDF(event:MouseEvent):void

{

var url:String = "Brochures/Crushing/EVHammerImpactCrusherlowres.pdf";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

navigateToURL(request);

}

crush_retro_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);

{

var url:String = "Brochures/Crushing/EVcrusherretrofit.pdf";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

navigateToURL(request);

}

Here are two of many ways to accomplish that:

Option 1:

hammer_crusher_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);
crush_retro_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);
function goPDF(e:MouseEvent):void
{
          var url:String;
          switch (e.currentTarget)
          {
                    case hammer_crusher_load: 
                              url = "Brochures/Crushing/EVHammerImpactCrusherlowres.pdf";
  
                              break;
  
                    case crush_retro_load: 
                              url = "Brochures/Crushing/EVcrusherretrofit.pdf";
                              break;
          }
          if (url)
          {
                    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
                    navigateToURL(request);
          }
}

Option 2:

import flash.utils.Dictionary;
hammer_crusher_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);
crush_retro_load.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPDF);
var urlMap:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
urlMap[hammer_crusher_load] = "Brochures/Crushing/EVHammerImpactCrusherlowres.pdf";
urlMap[crush_retro_load] = "Brochures/Crushing/EVcrusherretrofit.pdf";
function goPDF(e:MouseEvent):void
{
          var url:String = urlMap[e.currentTarget];
          if (url)
                    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(url));
}
