Hey guys,
The trace reports the math accurately, but is dropping the number down from 16 significant digits to 15. Not sure how you would change that to report 16 if you truly needed it and I didn't find what level of precision an AS will keep for you. (Could look up "double-precision IEEE-754" if needed)
"Usage
Number.MAX_VALUE:Number
Description
Property; the largest representable number (double-precision IEEE-754). This number is approximately 1.79e+308.
Example
The following ActionScript writes the largest and smallest representable numbers to the log file.
trace("Number.MIN_VALUE = "+Number.MIN_VALUE);
trace("Number.MAX_VALUE = "+Number.MAX_VALUE);
This code logs the following values:
Number.MIN_VALUE = 4.94065645841247e-324 Number.MAX_VALUE = 1.79769313486232e+308"
;)

Should be right, if:
9.095531709556422E7 = (9.095531709556422 * 10^7) = 90955317.0955642
which should be correct!

var x:Number = 9.095531709556422E7;
trace(x);
and it said
90955317.0955642
is that right? my brain doesnt remember scientific notation.
(this was using f8, not f8.5)
