Okay, for such big values you really need Long Long 8 bytes.

And if you will use C++ or Java then no problems.
But REALbasic and Director are not able handle such big integers.

Or you want to say that in Director MX you can store

    v = -4.600.000.000

And director can show you this value in e.g. Debugger ?
Anybody can confirm this ?

IS this new feature of Director MX ?

As I know there was no new XDK for Xtra developers.
So I afraid I will not be able add this into Xtra for now.


Giacomo, I remember that REALbasic developers are able work with Long Long
field of Valentina using strings!

You need use SetString / GetString
