Answering myself here:
yes - it does work, but there may be only one public visible function
definition inside the .as file and the .as file has to be the same as
the function name.
So given my example:
package foo
{
public function bar():void
{
}
}
this file needs to be stored as bar.as in the /foo directory. It can
then be imported like this:
import foo.bar;
My compiler was just a bit mixed up but now it works as expected.
