Description
Method; sets the month, and optionally the day, for the specified Date object in universal time
and returns the new time in milliseconds. Calling this method does not modify the other fields of
the specified Date object, but Date.getUTCDay() and Date.getDay() might report a new value if
the day of the week changes as a result of specifying a value for the
date parameter.
Example
The following example initially creates a new Date object, setting the date to May 15, 2004, and
uses
Date.setMonth() to change the date to June 15, 2004:
var today_date:Date = new Date(2004,4,15);
trace(today_date.getUTCMonth()); // output: 4
today_date.setUTCMonth(5);
trace(today_date.getUTCMonth()); // output: 5
