Can someone please explain this…

var i:Number = 7059467160524343000;  
trace(i);  
i = 7059467160524343700;  
trace(i);  
i = 7059467160524343999;  
trace(i);  
i = 7059467160524344000;  
trace(i);  
i = 7059467160524344001;  
trace(i);  
i = 7059467160524344225;  
trace(i);

OUTPUT:  
7059467160524343000  
7059467160524343000  
7059467160524344000  
7059467160524344000  
7059467160524344000  
7059467160524344000

Is this a bug? Max value for Number is set at  
1.79769313486231e+308…

Thanks
