1024 overriding a function that is not marked for overriding

Question

I keep getting this error in the Flash tool that I am doing:

1024 overriding a function that is not marked for overriding

An error was found in this line:

public function stop():void 

Answer 1

The error indicates that you have a method called stop in the base class. Therefore, in a derived class, you need to add override to the method declaration.

 public override function stop():void ^ 

Answer 2

You cannot use the name of a stop function in a class that extends MovieClip.
