Crap!
I thought as much after reading something about ColdFusion and large integers and having to use the Java BigInt class.
Oh well. I wonder whether 15 significant decimal digits will be enough! ;) haha!

If you need more, you're going to have to write or acquire the equivalent of a BigInteger class, which would probably use arbitrarily long Strings to store arbitrarily large integers.

Subject: [flexcoders] Handling VERY large numbers in Flex
Hi all,--
We're building an app that requires taking as input very large integers (e.g. 22222222222222222222, that's 20 '2's).
However, Flash is converting that to exponential notation (2.22222222222222e+19).
However, we don't want it to go into exponential notation.
Has anyone else had to deal with very large integers in Flash? If so, how have you dealt with it from a UI prospective and also from a data validation prospective.
Do you treat them as strings, and then convert them to Numbers before validation, etc...?
Any suggestions would be grately received.
Cheers
Niklas
