Beginner OOP question in Flex

Question

I was wondering, why does the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Test extends Sprite{
public function Test(){
trace ("Test");
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Results with "1037:Packages cannot be nested" error during
compilation. What i am trying to do is write a class with
constructor and later some methods i can use in mxml for different
component event actions. I know i am missing something, but not
sure what. Can someone please help me with this?
thanks in advance

Hello,
You should do one of two things:
- Either you create a new .AS file for your class, specify a
package and write a constructor for it.
package com.bc.views.components {
public class bcColorPicker {
// Constructor
public function bcColorPicker():void
- Or you create a new .MXML file, in that case, you DO NOT
indicate the package and you DO NOT need a constructor. The package
of the MXML file being where it's located. If you want to
instantiate your MXML file from another MXML file, the XML
namespace (xmlns) you would specify would be what you would specify
as a package for a class, e.g xmlns:bc="com.bc.views.components.*
as opposed to package com.bc.views.components.
