This paper describes the concept and implementation details of AJVM – state-of-the art Java Virtual Machine (JVM) implemented in ActionScript 3.0. Action Script is an objective programming language that supports compilation to Java bytecode. In the presented solution there has been a novel idea utilized – to use the other Virtual Machine’s execution environment (Action- Script Virtual Machine) to build Java Virtual Machine. The subset of features specified in JVM Specification v.2 supported by AJVM has been chosen in a way which enables the machine to be used in many practical applications both in the commercial context as well as in science. As the architecture of AJVM is modular, the extension of its features in the future will not cause any difficulties. The implementation of AJVM in ActionScript 3.0 which is executed by ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM) makes it possible to use Java code in applications written in ActionScript 3.0. It spawns many new opportunities considering that AVM is a part of FlashPlayer – commonly used multimedia player available in the form of plugins for the majority of modern web browsers, including mobile versions.
