    you need to use an integer value, not a float.

    FORM film_control format_int_places 5
    FORM film_control format_dec_places 5

    btw, if you use ctrl-p at the moment the artwork form is opened you can write a script file (written to current working dir) which contains all fields in the form which can be accessed.
