Strange class error when using java

Question

I've been attempting to use java.awt.robot to simulate a key press when a button is clicked however I'm getting a couple of errors that I can't figure out but I'm not so good when it comes to scripts. When the button "LetterButton" is pressed it should simulate a keypress, ideally to the desktop/operating sytem but the errors I'm getting are:-
1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute public, not static.
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before leftbrace.
1131: Class must not be nested.
Here's the code:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:WindowedApplicationxmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import java.awt.Robot; 
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; 
public class Main { 
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { 
Robot robot =
new Robot(); 
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_A);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:VBox x="359" y="262" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
<mx:Button id="LetterButton" label="Button" click=""/>
<mx:TextInput id="txt"/>
</mx:VBox></mx:WindowedApplication>

Sounds tricky. I may ask them to look for an alternative way of doing it as Java really isn't my thing, I'm merely just a flex beginner at the moment.
The reason I've been looking for this is that my app will be installed on a digital tv that also has a system connected to it using a Linux operating system so the user can switch between watching digital tv and the application seamlessly and at the moment a Linux professional who I'm working with has the Digital TV bound to the F12 key which is bound to a handheld remote control (being a tv there is no keyboard, just an 'air mouse' and the remote control).
So my client and my Linux guy have asked me to come up with a way of getting the app to communicate with the desktop/operating system. I have seen flex apps in the past where a user can drag and drop videos on their desktop into an air application from which they will be played so I thought it would be possible to interact with the exteral OS/Desktop from within an AIR app by using just flex but it doesn't seem so easy through my research.
Thanks for your help though.
