Here is a good article on class/package syntax and structure:

It turns out that one class per package is a Flex limitation.

Hi Rob,
The ability to define multiple classes in a single package was removed as
of Flex 1.5. It was removed with the class modifier *private*. There is
still a way to do it though.
First you need to change your file name to match the main class that is
being defined. The main class is the class that is within the package block.
You can then define any additional classes *outside* of the package block.
Classes outside of the package block cannot have any modifiers. The classes
are scoped to the classes within the .as file; no class outside of the .as
file can access these classes.
