Which function call?

Did you have a chance to? Would it be worth trying again?

I would also be very much interested in helping out a bit when it comes
to finding the problems and possibly contributing some coding. My
problem is just, I am lacking a start point.

Like in this case:

- Is there anything in writing as to how AS3 is represented in memory
after parsing?
- What would be the entry point into the VM?

I think it will be easier to find contributors if contributing would be
a bit easier.

Torsten
