var dateOfBirth_date:Date = new Date(74, 7, 12, 18, 15);
trace (dateOfBirth_date);
trace (dateOfBirth_date.toString());
UTC (Date.UTC method)
public static UTC(year:Number, month:Number, [date:Number], [hour:Number],
[minute:Number], [second:Number], [millisecond:Number]) : Number
Returns the number of milliseconds between midnight on January 1, 1970, universal time,
and the time specified in the parameters. This is a static method that is invoked through the
Date object constructor, not through a specific Date object. This method lets you create a
Date object that assumes universal time, whereas the Date constructor assumes local time.
Parameters
year:Number - A four-digit integer that represents the year (for example, 2000).
month:Number - An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December).
date:Number [optional] - An integer from 1 to 31.
hour:Number [optional] - An integer from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11 p.m.).
minute:Number [optional] - An integer from 0 to 59.
second:Number [optional] - An integer from 0 to 59.
millisecond:Number [optional] - An integer from 0 to 999.
Returns
Number - An integer.
Example
The following example creates a new maryBirthday_date Date object defined in universal
time. This is the universal time variation of the example used for the new Date constructor
method. The output is in local time and varies accordingly. For Pacific Daylight Time the
output is seven hours earlier than UTC: Sun Aug 11 17:00:00 GMT-0700 1974.
var maryBirthday_date:Date = new Date(Date.UTC(1974, 7, 12));
trace(maryBirthday_date);
valueOf (Date.valueOf method)
public valueOf() : Number
Returns the number of milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970, universal time, for this
Date.
