Does anyone know if AS3 or FP9/10 enforces a minimum increment or resolution for the Sprite rotation property?

It seems to only allow rotations in multiples of 0.25 degrees.

For example:  
var lines:Array = new Array();  
for (i=0; i\<2000; i++){  
lines\* = new Shape();  
lines\*.graphics.lineStyle(.1, 0x000000);  
lines\*.graphics.moveTo(0,0);  
lines\*.graphics.lineTo(700,0);  
addChild(lines\*);  
lines\*.y = 100;  
lines\*.rotation = i\* .001;  
}

This draws the lines in groups at 0.25 degree spacing with gaps between them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
