That's interesting thanks. My application is at www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte. It's open-source. I currently use the old actionscript interpreters from Elvis Mehmedovic, which work well enough. All the object oriented code is in the engine swf file - the script I want to execute at runtime needs to be able to talk to all the classes in there, and the objects they produce. It doesn't really need to be partiualrly fast, and the users this is targetted at don't need a full on OO language - just a lightweight scripting language. I'm just exploring alternatives. I'd love the Flash player to natively support runtime interpretation - but you guys will all tell me for lots of good reasosn why that's a bad idea! I do understand those reasons, but there are lots of reasons why it's a good idea too! One of the things that the interpreter I use doesn't support is function declarations, which I'd love to have. Of course, you can compile swfs, load them up and call the code in them, which works well enough.

While we're at it, you can also use haxeScript for that, which is a untyped subset of haXe which is 99% similar to ActionScript : http://code.google.com/p/hscript/ It contains both a parser, that will parse a code string into a data structure that can be analyzed/manipulated, and an interpreter that is able to execute the code. It works for Flash 6-8, Flash 9-10, Javascript, PHP and Neko (all supported haXe platforms in fact).
