No, you wouldn't want to use it in computations on the client because
there are rounding problems with floating point math in AS (same as js). If
you simply read it from the server side and display it in the client, it's
just a string so it's always correct. Once you want to do math on it,
neither AS or JS are safe for important calculations, which pretty much
means that short of an applett or activex control, there is no such thing as
a "safe" web client for financial calculations.
