Hi list,
i need to talk to webservices which pass me back very large db id's, which
im using again to request more info.
However when i do (for example):
var b:Number = 10;
trace (b);
it prints 1e+21
Now when I use this value as an argument to this webservice it seems to

afterwhich flash resorts to floating point. (flash doesnt support
int64 apparently, otherwise you'd have no problems)
