Alchemy allows users to compile C and C++ code that is targeted to run on the open source ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2). While this idea seems really promising has anyone had success with this - if so are there examples?
I was wanting to convert some old DOS programs to SWF so they could be ran in the browser.
Most old DOS code isn't very portable, so running it on anything but DOS will take considerable work. Quite a bit of it makes direct use of DOS interrupts, absolute locations in the memory map, and so on. Getting these to run under AVM2 would basically not just require a C compiler, but a full emulation of MS-DOS, a BIOS, and PC hardware.
