The Flash Player for Scratch 1.4

I'm guessing that the Flash Player for 1.4 does not layer on top of the full Squeak, or does it?  What I'm getting at is: how much RAM does the Flash Player need?

Re: The Flash Player for Scratch 1.4

I'm not sure about the RAM part, but I would like to note that is doesn't directly lay upon Squeak. I've written a program before that parsed scratch project (.sb) files, and the code was really nasty, considering that the file format is formed of objects that are part of classes. Java, Flash, and Smalltalk (Squeak) all use objects, but the player itself is not an emulator of Smalltalk. Either way, they're a lot closer than C, the language my parser was written in, who doesn't even have objects or classes.

Best Regards and hope it helps,
