on http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/726961/385614 when the variable seconds gets to a very high point, it atomaticly goes to 1.12E9 or something around there. but this does not happen in presentation mode.

The Java player is using Exponential notation there, which is a shorter way to display very large or small numbers. So 1.12E9 really means 1.12 x 10^9 or 1120000000. It is another annoying difference between the two environments.

Thanks Paddle2see, but i knew what it meant (adv. math) but is there a way to prevent this?
