Starting with as files

Question

hi, just the basics of placing code in an as file
i created a file, this is all the code in the file:
package something {      public class some_class {      } }
the file is called 'package_test.as'
now i create a new animation file, and in fort frame i place something like:
include "package_test.as"
import something.*
trace("done");
just the basics, create a class inside a packgage with a test clas, then try to recall it from another file. i get the next error:
1037: Packages cannot be nested
i mean, is pretty straight forward, just test the basics of placing code in a file and calling it from another file. it is not because the class is empty or has no constructor, i did this test because i had some code in some movies and i am trying to place them as part of a class, but i am failing in the basics so far. any pointers?

Answer 1

not sure about this; according to documentation, in a single as file can be defined more than one classes (unlike as2). also, i tried this:
1. i removed the package tag, so there was only the class defined there
after that it told me the public tag could be used only if defined inside a package, so i removed the public atribute for the class definition
2. i renamed the class so it would be the same as the file name, something like:
//package something {
class package_test {
this is the (whole) new content of the file
now i get this:
1131: Classes must not be nested.
there is only one class, named exactly as the file, so i guess this is not it, but tnx anyway
