>Could be money too. AFAIK, Double precision float is 52bit, that is around 15 decimal digits, which is more than enough for even largest financial figures, as long as you don't do too many computations in Flex (because of rounding errors accumulation). My company's customers are some of the largest banks , and the figures are never that huge, even with cents precision...
Then there is the "storage" case. I agree that PetaBytes (10^15) would push to the maximums. Hopefully, it's not that common.

I've been told that financial apps need this. Or storage. I think petabytes push the maximums. At some point in time, Flex will probably need a good library for this.
