> I don't think it's a case of trace( ) not calling parseFloat
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
The explanation is that the decimal-string-to-binary-floating-point-number
conversion at compile time and at run time are done by different code in
different products and they're not producing the same result down to the last
decimal place.
Did you file the bug?

actionscript, converting from string to number loses precision
This actually exists in Flash 8 as well. And I don't think it's a
case of trace( ) not calling parseFloat, I get the same thing when I output it
to a textfield.
And it gets better:
stop();
var s:String = "952.85";
var i:Number = parseFloat(s);
// txtResultX are dynamic textbox on stage
txtResult1 = Math.floor(952.85 / 0.05); // 19057, correct
txtResult2 = Math.floor(i /
0.05);
// 19056, wrong
txtResult3 = Math.floor(i * ( 1 / 0.05)); // 19057, correct

Anyone has any idea why it's not possible to convert a string to a
number without losing precision?
var s:Strin! g = "952.86";
var i:Number = parseFloat(s);
trace(i);
trace(i - 952.86); // Not zero!
