/**
* The Date class represents date and time information. An instance of the Date class represents a particular point in time for which the properties such as month, day, hours, and seconds can be queried or modified. The Date class lets you retrieve date and time values relative to universal time (Greenwich mean time, now called universal time or UTC) or relative to local time, which is determined by the local time zone setting on the operating system that is running Flash Player. The methods of the Date class are not static but apply only to the individual Date object specified when the method is called. The Date.UTC() and Date.parse() methods are exceptions; they are static methods.
* The Date class handles daylight saving time differently, depending on the operating system and runtime version. Flash Player 6 and later versions handle daylight saving time on the following operating systems in these ways:
*
* - Windows - the Date object automatically adjusts its output for daylight saving time. The Date object detects whether daylight saving time is employed in the current locale, and if so, it detects the standard-to-daylight saving time transition date and times. However, the transition dates currently in effect are applied to dates in the past and the future, so the daylight saving time bias might calculate incorrectly for dates in the past when the locale had different transition dates.
* - Mac OS X - the Date object automatically adjusts its output for daylight saving time. The time zone information database in Mac OS X is used to determine whether any date or time in the present or past should have a daylight saving time bias applied.
* - Mac OS 9 - the operating system provides only enough information to determine whether the current date and time should have a daylight saving time bias applied. Accordingly, the date object assumes that the current daylight saving time bias applies to all dates and times in the past or future.
* Flash Player 5 handles daylight saving time on the following operating systems as follows:
*
* - Windows - the U.S. rules for daylight saving time are always applied, which leads to incorrect transitions in Europe and other areas that employ daylight saving time but have different transition times than the U.S. Flash correctly detects whether daylight saving time is used in the current locale.
* To use the Date class, construct a Date instance using the new operator.
* ActionScript 3.0 adds several new accessor properties that can be used in place of many Date class methods that access or modify Date instances. ActionScript 3.0 also includes several new variations of the toString() method that are included for ECMA-262 3rd Edition compliance, including: Date.toLocaleString(), Date.toTimeString(), Date.toLocaleTimeString(), Date.toDateString(), and Date.toLocaleDateString().
* To compute relative time or time elapsed, see the getTimer() method in the flash.utils package.

*
* - If you pass no arguments, the Date object is assigned the current date and time.
* - If you pass one argument of data type Number, the Date object is assigned a time value based on the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:000 GMT, as specified by the lone argument.
* - If you pass one argument of data type String, and the string contains a valid date, the Date object contains a time value based on that date.
* - If you pass two or more arguments, the Date object is assigned a time value based on the argument values passed, which represent the date's year, month, date, hour, minute, second, and milliseconds.
* If you pass a string to the Date class constructor, the date can be in a variety of formats, but must at least include the month, date, and year. For example, Feb 1 2005 is valid, but Feb 2005 is not. The following list indicates some of the valid formats:

* - Day Month Date Year Hours:Minutes:Seconds AM/PM (for instance, "Tue Feb 1 2005 12:00:00 AM", which matches

* - Day Month Date Year (for instance, "Tue Feb 1 2005", which matches

* - Month/Year (for instance, "02/2005")

If the number represents a time value (no other parameters are specified), it is the number of milliseconds before or after 0:00:00 GMT January 1, 1970; a negative values represents a time before 0:00:00 GMT January 1, 1970, and a positive value represents a time after.
* @param month An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December).

/**
* Returns the number of milliseconds between midnight on January 1, 1970, universal time, and the time specified in the parameters. This method uses universal time, whereas the Date constructor uses local time.
* This method is useful if you want to pass a UTC date to the Date class constructor. Because the Date class constructor accepts the millisecond offset as an argument, you can use the Date.UTC() method to convert your UTC date into the corresponding millisecond offset, and send that offset as an argument to the Date class constructor:
* @param year A four-digit integer that represents the year (for example, 2000).
* @param month An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December).
* @param date An integer from 1 to 31.
* @param hour An integer from 0 (midnight) to 23 (11 p.m.).
* @param minute An integer from 0 to 59.
* @param second An integer from 0 to 59.
* @param millisecond An integer from 0 to 999.
*
* @return The number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 and the specified date and time.
*
* @example The following example creates a new Date object someBirthday with parameters year (1974), month (10 = November), day (30), hour (1) and minute (20) using local time. Then a call to UTC() within a setTime() method resets the same parameters to universal time.
*
* var someBirthday:Date = new Date(1974, 10, 30, 15, 20);
* trace(someBirthday.toString());
