Using Adobe Flex Builder Version 2.0.1.167022

Steps to reproduce:

    var x:Number; 
    x = 0.0000000006;
    trace (x);             // gives 6e-10
    trace (x.toFixed(20)); // gives 0.00000000060000000000
    trace (x.toFixed(11)); // gives 0.00000000060
    trace (x.toFixed(10)); // gives 0.0000000006
    trace (x.toFixed(9));  // gives 0.000000001
    trace (x.toFixed(8));  // gives 0.00000001
    trace (x.toFixed(7));  // gives 0.0000001
    trace (x.toFixed(6));  // gives 0.000001
    trace (x.toFixed(5));  // gives 0.00001
    trace (x.toFixed(4));  // gives 0.0001
    trace (x.toFixed(3));  // gives 0.001
    trace (x.toFixed(2));  // gives 0.01
    trace (x.toFixed(1));  // gives 0.1
    trace (x.toFixed(0));  // gives 1. (With an unwanted decimal point)
