Hi Aral, yes, you're right of course. It seems obvious now to think about such things first, sorry.
I just updated the wiki page: ----> AVM2 Bytecode The new virtual machine uses new bytecode. In order for the community to be able to develop an AS3 compiler, we need the specifications. Macromedia plans to release the specifications at some point, if we want to reverse engineer the bytecode in order to begin writing a compiler earlier, it would have to be legally or the effort is pointless. Is there a lawyer in the house? <---- Is that sort of content OK? mark On 10/26/05, Aral Balkan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > You have to be very careful that you do not obtain illegal specs, or > post code based on them here on the list or on the Wiki.
