Each file can declare one public thing in a package. That thing can be a
public class, a public interface, a public function, a public var, a
public namespace, etc.
The filename must match the name of the public thing. Then when you say,
for example
import foo.bar.myfunction;
the compiler knows it can find myfunction in foo/bar/myfunction.as.
If there were more than one public thing per file, this import scheme
wouldn't work.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] AS variables at the top level of a package
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."
Rgds,
Olivier :)

You have created an object called Test. You can only have one public
object in a package (even if your package has no name). 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 ?]).

This public method is not part of an object, so it will break.
