Mxmlc 3.6 Socket.timeout undefined property

Question

Hi,
I decided to dive into and get dirty with Flex and ActionScript. Downloaded flex_sdk_3.6.0.16995A.zip from Adobe site, extracted it, added to my path and started coding away.
I am trying to compile an ActionScript class with mxmlc in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04).
In my class I use a socket, and I try to set the timeout property, however it gives me a compile error.
Here is the class that's giving me the problem (I have left only the relevant code for clarity):
package
  import flash.net.*
  import flash.events.*
   public class Socks4Sock
        private var sock: Socket;
        public function Socks4Sock(host:String, port:int):void
          sock = new Socket();
          sock.timeout = 5000;
I get the following error during compilation:
mxmlc Socks4Sock.as
Loading configuration file /opt/flexsdk/frameworks/flex-config.xml
/var/www/example/Socks4Sock.as(14): col: 16 Error: Access of possibly undefined property timeout through a reference with static type flash.net:Socket.
          sock.timeout = 5000;
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It seems according to the documentation, that timeout property is supported in AS3.

This is the mxmlc version I am using:
mxmlc -version
Version 3.6.0 build 16995
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the quick and consise reply. I tried that argument  and gave me "command line: Error: unknown configuration variable 'player-version'"
Howerver, following up on the same idea, I searched and found out it's '-target-player'
This is the argument I used:
mxmlc -target-player=10 Socks4Sock.as
That worked. Once again, thanks.
