1131:Packages must not be nested

Question

Hai all,
I m working on a Flex Application, in which I have to
communicate with the server through TCP Socket. I am using
XMLSocketClass. I got a code from help, but I am getting
"1131:Packages must not be nested" error whenever I m trying to
compile it. Pls tell me the reason for this error.

socket = new XMLSocket();
configureListeners(socket);
socket.connect(hostName, port);

socket.send(data);

Hi, Thanks for your help. I added the follwoing code in my
Flex Application.
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var aa:<ClassName> = new <ClassName>();
]]>
</mx:Script>
Thanks. No I am facing one more problem. I can't receive any
reply messages from the server, when I am trying to get some
responses through TCP Socket using XMLSocket Class.
addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, dataHandler) is not working.. I
have posted the problem in the forum. Can u pls go through that??
Thanks in advance,
