Ok guys, i was trying a not to hard calculation in flash… 😉

> 

// var calc, with dot. Output: 25, ok, true…  
nummer=10\*2.5;  
trace(nummer);

// var calc, with comma. Output: 20, where did the .5 go?  
nummer=10\*2,5;  
trace(nummer);

// direct trace, with dot. Output: 25, ok, true…  
trace((10\*2.5));

// direct trace, with comma. Output: 5, should be 20, when i look above…, but why 5 this time?  
trace((10\*2, 5));
