need help with array compiler in flash

Hi all!


To come to my proble:
I am working on a flash project for three years. And for this project i
developed a virtual machine in actionscript (I know it sounds strange,
but that's the way it is and it is working well!). This VM is executing
code on asm niveau but flash doesn't know binary data and so i am
storing my code in arrays. It looks like this:


script = new Array();
script[0] = ["push", "Hello ", "push", "world!", "add", "trace"];
script[1] = ["push", 4, "push", 1, "mul"];
script[2] = [ "push", 11, "fork", "jmp", "push", "I am the parent",
"trace", "push", 14, "gto", "push "I am the child", "trace", "non"];


I have written a quick'n'dirty compiler in PHP which generates the shown
code in a text file from a text file like this:
(I wrote this compiler to have labels.)


/* the compiler recognizes single line commands and multi
          lines commands
*/
=0 // this is the first program. The number after the
"=" is used as index in the array.
        push "Hello "
        push "world!"
        add
        trace


=1 /* the VM knows numbers and strings */
        push 4
        push 1
        mul


=2 /* The MV also knows forking */
        push a:
        fork
        jmp
        push "I am the parent"
        trace
        push b:
        gto
a: push "I am the child"
        trace
b: non


During the last weeks I have read there are tools to generate compilers.
I would like to have a compiler which converts a programing language
from C niveau( no OOP, but if-then-else and for(){...}) to my array text
file. Does anybody know if there is a tool what meets my needs?
