Local time is determined by the operating system on which Flash Player is running. Availability: ActionScript 1. 0; Flash Lite 2. 0 Parameters minute:Number - An integer from 0 to 59. Returns Number - An integer. Example The following example initially creates a new Date object, setting the time and date to 8:00 a. m. on May 15, 2004, and then uses Date. setMinutes() to change the time to 8:30 a. m. : var my_date:Date = new Date(2004, 4, 15, 8, 0); trace(my_date. getMinutes()); // output: 0 my_date. setMinutes(30); trace(my_date. getMinutes()); // output: 30 setMonth (Date. setMonth method) public setMonth(month:Number, [date:Number]) : Number Sets the month for the specified Date object in local time and returns the new time in milliseconds. Local time is determined by the operating system on which Flash Player is running. Availability: ActionScript 1. 0; Flash Lite 2. 0 Date 347 Parameters month:Number - An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December). date:Number [optional] - An integer from 1 to 31.
