Unable to compile actionscript in Ubuntu

Question

I followed the steps in this page to set up adobe flex 3 for developing with Actionscript 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

However, in the last step, when I try to compile an actionscript program by typing

mxmlc MainTimeline.as

I get

mxmlc: command not found

I have added the path to my flex bin folder in my .bashrc file. (When I do vim ~/.bashrc) I see

export PATH=/opt/flex/bin:$PATH

at its end.

What am I missing?

The problem was with the version of Flex. I was working on Flex 3. While the tutorial in the link is of Flex 4.6. Working after I downloaded Flex SDK 4.6
