if I trace new Date().toUTCString() I get something like: Fri Aug 12 07:14:06 2011 UTC. perfect. If I trace new Date().getTime() I get some long negative number which is decreasing as I continue to trace it. This is totally unexpected. Obviously my system clock is OK. What gives?
new Date().getTime()returns time in milliseconds from January 1, 1970, universal time. It is positive number but I suppose you’re usingintto store it so Flash Player converts milliseconds to negative as far as it is more thanint.MAX_VALUE. UseNumberto store the value ofnew Date().getTime()and it will be positive.
