presumably due to precision issues with large numbers (ie not your

Hi,
I am using Math.pow(x,y) method in action script. But I am very surprised with
the results.
For example, Math.pow(16,14).
In Action Script, it gives: 72057594037927940
In Calculator, it gives: 72057594037927936
What may be the reason for this difference , Any idea !
