It's essentially/simply used for your folder structure and then used to import in your various classes.
So inside your src folder if you had a folder structure of src->com->mywebname -> view, then any classes inside the folder 'view' would have a package name of com.mywebname.view and the import would be com.mywebname.view.*; or com.mywebname.view.myClassName; If your using flexbuilder it names the package for you. If you create a new AS file inside a particular folder flexbuilder will give the package name the same folder location. Should you move an AS file from one folder to another you will need to rename the package.

Can someone clarify what this is? I'm not sure what it is and how it's used and how I/when I should use one.
