Incorrect. the floatprecision only changes the number of decimal places that
display/result. Director ALWAYS uses the full precision to calculate values.
-- Welcome to Director --
x = .00003
y = .00004
z = .00009
set the floatprecision = 2
put x
-- 0.00
put y
-- 0.00
put z
-- 0.00
c = x+y+z
put c
-- 0.00
set the floatprecision = 4
put c
-- 0.0002
set the floatprecision = 14
put c
-- 0.00016000000000
