AS3: How to reference a function in a namespace?

AS3 is rather new to me. Let's say I have the following class defined in a separate file.

// saved as ./test/testing.as
package test{
   public class testing {
      public namespace nspc;
      nspc function hello(){
         trace("Hello World");
      };
   }
}

How can I call the hello() function?

Problem here is way of define namespace.

Basically you can use the namespace in as3 which have 3 steps.

Defining namespaces

File name should be mynamespace.as. (Should match with Namespacename)

package test
{
    public namespace mynamespace; //Note here no class/interface declaration.
}

Applying namespaces

package test
{
    use namespace mynamespace;

    public class Testing
    {
        public function Testing()
        {   

        }

        mynamespace function hello():void //This method belongs to mynamespace
        {
            trace("Hello World");
        };
    }
}

Referencing namespaces

var testing:Testing = new Testing();
testing.mynamespace::hello();

(or)

use namespace mynamespace;

var testing:Testing = new Testing();
testing.hello();

With the use namespace directive:

use namespace nspc;

var test:testing = new testing();
test.hello();
