MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE - Nan (Number.nan Property); Negative_Infinity; (Number.negative_Infinity Property)

Number 547
Example
The following ActionScript displays the largest and smallest representable numbers to the
Output panel to the log file.
trace("Number.MIN_VALUE = "+Number.MIN_VALUE);
trace("Number.MAX_VALUE = "+Number.MAX_VALUE);
This code displays the following values:
Number.MIN_VALUE = 4.94065645841247e-324
Number.MAX_VALUE = 1.79769313486232e+308

Example
This example compares the result of dividing the following values.
var posResult:Number = 1/0;
if (posResult == Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) {
trace("posResult = "+posResult); // output: posResult = Infinity
}
var negResult:Number = -1/0;
if (negResult == Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) {
trace("negResult = "+negResult); // output: negResult = -Infinity
