For this reason people usually use server side scripts to supply flash
with correct calculations for finance apps.
It might not look like a big deal until you are using Flash to do some
financial app, where you obtain a number from a string variable, convert it to
a number, divide it with something and Math.floor it, all the while thinking
it's the same as taking a number, divide it with something and Math.floor it.
(The diff can be as big as 1 because of Math.floor).

How do you usually deal with the loss in precision (a bit oxymoron since
floating point can't be exactly represented) when converting a floating
point string to a number?
var s:String = "952.86";
var i:Number = parseFloat(s);
trace(i);
trace(i - 952.86); // Not zero!
