Okay I understand. So, I can never declare my method as public at the package level, right?
But what do you understand when reading the doc??? "If you do declare variables, functions, or namespaces at the top level of a package, the only attributes available at that level are public and internal, and only one package-level declaration per file can use the public attribute, whether that declaration is a class, variable, function, or namespace."

Only public objects can have public methods (because methods must belong to an object, and if external classes can't see the object, they can't invoke the method [what would they invoke it on ?]). > > public function dummy():void{} This public method is not part of an object, so it will break. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to proactively aggregate end-to-end interfaces **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
