I came to this specific value from 6.3e51. Here are some more tests:
var test1_str:String = "6.3e51"; //6.3e+51 outputs same result. var n1:Number = parseFloat(test1_str); trace(n1); trace(n1 == (6.3e51)); trace(6.30000000000000e+51 == 6.3e+51); trace(n1-(6.3e51)); //AS3 6.30000000000000e+51 false true 1.32922799578491e+36 It may certainly be by design, but aren't these unexpected results? as2 and java do not behave this way. The parseFloat function is flawed. I will post a comment on livedocs, and I've submitted the issue as a bug at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform I am not going over board am I? I just need my program to work correctly. On 3/5/07, Fumio Nonaka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
