Does anyone know of an online squeak VM? It could make Scratch be online instead of Flash. I would at least be able to test it out. Does one exist?

There is a Squeak plugin, but it's very hard to find.
I tried to install it, but it didn't work.
I guess that we're out of luck

That would be best. It's really kind of dumb how the Scratch team chose to use a Java player and a code translator. it would work much better and make more sense if they could make or find something that reads Smalltalk-80 directly.

I have before and that's not what I am talking about. I mean that they are actually making Scratch in flash, with the color sceme and all.

No, it's a very good decision to use Java.
In case you didn't know, nobody has this squeak plugin.

The Squeak plugin is extremely cool and it is being used by thousands of people worldwide, who are using Alan Kay's Etoys. I think it's a wonderful suggestion to just use the Squeak plugin with a Scratch image that runs online, because that way not only will you have a player for Scratch that runs in any browser, but also an online editor.

Does it use an online VM, and if so, where can I download it from?

You can get the Squeak browser plugin it by downloading and installing Etoys, or by scavenging the Squeak site.
I installed Etoys. How would I embed the VM on my website, and how would other people be able to view it?

This page explains how to lay hands on the plugin.
I still don't get it. How can I use it to add Slash to a website?

What I need is to use that thing to put Slash online on a webpage, like the Scratch team is planning to do with Scratch on Flash, except on Squeak.

Update: My friend and I got it to work on Macs, but it won't identify the plugin on Windows. Does anyone know how windows identifies plugins?
