Doug,
We need to store an integer. This is what we want to do. We have
about 100,000 transactions containing volumes that may go as high as
hundreds of millions. At the end of the day, we have to accept the total
volume from the user which may reach as high as 17 digits and compare it
with the volume calculated in the database. This kind of rounding error
might cause the comparison to file.
usting Int or uInt is worse. Here is the code and output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute
" creationComplete="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
[Bindable] private var jdx:Number;
[Bindable] private var idx:int;
[Bindable] private var kdx:uint;
private function initApp():void {
idx = 12345678901234567;
jdx = 12345678901234567;
kdx = 12345678901234567;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Form>
<mx:FormItem label="Number:" >
<mx:TextInput text="{jdx}" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="Int:" >
<mx:TextInput text="{idx}" />
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="uint:" >
<mx:TextInput text="{kdx}" />
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
</mx:Application>

Re: [AFFUG Discuss] Problem with large integer numbers
Jay, meant to look at this earlier. I suspect its due to precision
loss/gain and how Number is stored and when toString() does its thing. I
think I recall a discussion over on flexcoders on this too. Not to skirt
or excuse the issue, but do you need to store a float or int here? I'd be
curious what your experiment yields with a int type.

of putting it in front of the user group?

Re: [AFFUG Discuss] Problem with large integer numbers
Even when I bind this large numbet to TextInput Control, it shows
123456789012345768
Here is the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute
" creationComplete="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
[Bindable]
private var jdx:Number = 12345678901234567;
private function initApp():void {
Alert.show(jdx.toString());
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TextInput text="{jdx}" />
</mx:Application>

[AFFUG Discuss] Problem with large integer numbers
Has anybody seen this?
When I stored a 17 digit number in Number type actionscript variable and
tried to display it using Alert, I got a different number.
Here is the program
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute
" creationComplete="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
private function initApp():void {
var jdx:Number = 12345678901234567;
Alert.show(jdx.toString());
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Alert Box shows 12345678901234568
