Flash Based Vorbis Player?

I don't mean like a hardware player that supports vorbis and uses flash memory; flash as in macromedia flash. Something like this. The ogg vorbis format is totally open so it would make sense that somebody has written a flash based player, but I've had no luck searching for one ;-;

You know what flash is, right? It's not like a full-fledged programming language.

You haven't understood the concept. Nearly all functionality is inside the Flash interpreter, the software you install to have flash support on your rig. There is almost no code inside e.g. a .flv file, only data that gets feed into the flash interpreter.

That's right, buts thats not the point here. What is necessary is the flash format and interpreter to be open.

I expect something like this to end in license trouble, even if Vorbis is licensed with a BSD-style license.

though experiment:
Implement a VM using the ActionScript from Flash.
Port the Vorbis reference implementation to this VM.
Get vorbis port to run at reasonable speed.
I doubt this is possible.
