Java will be hard, because it doesn't support plain pointers. I don't known ActionScript. Anyway, you're welcome to try :)


Flash is a virtual machine. Flash 9 is a complete re-write. There are Flash assemblers available. Flash doesn't use "ActionScript"* at run tme, the code is compiled to bytecode, just like Java.

As a proof of concept (and interesting aside) see: http://community.netikatech.com/faq/ - it's a C# compiler targeting Flash (well, and Silverlight..)

* I believe is *is* possible to dynamically compile Action Script, and the older Flash runtimes were tied to Action Script more than Flash 9. Dunno, I just dabbled with Goa (as a pretty much full time C# programmer) and have used Flex 2 and Flex Builder (which is actually a really cool platform.)
