Date constructor
public Date([yearOrTimevalue:Number], [month:Number], [date:Number],
[hour:Number], [minute:Number], [second:Number], [millisecond:Number])
Constructs a new Date object that holds the specified date and time.
The
Date() constructor takes up to seven parameters (year, month, ..., millisecond) to specify
a date and time to the millisecond. Alternatively, you can pass a single value to the
Date()
constructor that indicates a time value based on the number of milliseconds since January 1,
1970 0:00:000 GMT. Or you can specify no parameters, and the
Date() date object is
assigned the current date and time.
For example, this code shows several different ways to create a Date object:
var d1:Date = new Date();
var d3:Date = new Date(2000, 0, 1);
var d4:Date = new Date(65, 2, 6, 9, 30, 15, 0);
var d5:Date = new Date(-14159025000);
In the first line of code, a Date object is set to the time when the assignment statement is run.
In the second line, a Date object is created with year, month, and date parameters passed to it,
resulting in the time 0:00:00 GMT January 1, 2000.
