Mxmlc compiler trouble

I’ve been working with mxmlc for the past couple of weeks, and I’ve hit a roadblock. Any time that I specify the package definition, like this,

package some.arbitrary.definition {
...
}

mxmlc throws an error:

[FONT=“Courier New”][COLOR=“Red”]Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ‘’, as the definition’s package, ‘some.arbitrary.definition’.[/COLOR][/FONT]

I get the premise of this error: my class needs to be in a folder at ./some/arbitrary/definition. But no matter what directory structure I use, I can’t get mxmlc to compile the file.

What exactly do I need to do to get mxmlc to behave? Is there a configuration variable that deals with this?
