Newbie here. Client wants a ticker similar to a population growth that is updated every second. The year end number will be

255,287,176,721,907,000.00

1. Can Flash do calculations this big?
2. Can a swf file of this ticker be distributed and updated based on the atomic clock, ie. real time calculation based on present date and time?
