I know there is one, but it’s not easy to implement the way I want.
I would like to know the steps to interpret the lisp language and what functions are essential to be implemented.

First, you learn Lisp, then read LiSP and (given you know ActionScript well enough) you just start. PAIP also has sections about implementing Lisp interpreters and compilers.
To get an idea how it generally can be approached, you can have a look at Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 hours. It uses Haskell as an implementation language, but it would give you an idea.
It surely wouldn’t be trivial, but it has been done quite often, and there is much to learn from doing it.
