Programming Implementation
Fairly short question: Is it possible to implement programming languages, such as C++, inside of a Flash program. If possible, how? If not, why?
* I wasn't sure if I should ask here, or a Flash forum. I checked for the answer, and after hours, found nothing.

I don't see why would it be impossible, but it certainly wouldn't be practical.
Why do you want to do it? Do you want to compile a C++ program in flash? You could call g++ from a flash application I guess.

You could always write a command line interpreter for c++ in flash, that way you can have c++ console on your flash based program.
@R0mai - I was trying to find an interesting way to create my MMO.
@Seraphimsan - Any chance you could point me in the right direction for a thorough tutorial for that? I know C++, not flash.

Sorry I can't I dont know actionscript at all.
Also a flash mmo would NOT be a good idea. actionscript is a bit to specialized for that kind of work. Flash games are fine and all, but i just dont see it playing out well on a massive level.
If you want your MMO to be web based, pick up java, it's syntax is C like, so it wont be a HUGE step away from c++, and then if you really want to work with c++ on it, you can always write that interpreter in java (which would end up being a lot easier than doing it in actionscript :P)
ALL in ALL, forgo the flash unless it's absolutely required.

Nice joke.

You can't. You are simply not allowed to by the Flash runtime. You could do that from Java, providing the user accepts it. But still the idea is crazy. C++ can't do that, simply. Java is an overkill (you won't be solving differential equations, will you?). Flash is IMHO good for the client side MMO. See this: http://witcher-versus.gamigo.com/. Done in Flash.

Yea, that's not an MMO. It's an online game, and it's multiplayer, but it's not an MMO. I dont expect you to know that though, you dont come across as the hard core MMO gamer type.
EDIT: no thats not an insult. Sorry it looked a little brash.
