I always said I was going to do it, and now I finally will.

Just something small for a little project I had in mind. There are a few hinders I’m not sure how efficient they will be, but I’ll ask those questions when I get there if I can’t get past them.

My first question is, has this ever been done before? Are there any already existing AS3 interpreters written in AS3? Are there any interpreters written in other languages that perhaps have a development guide or thoughts on what to keep in mind to avoid as much rewriting as possible?
