public setUTCMonth(month:Number, [date:Number]) : Number

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.

Parameters

month:Number - An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December).

date:Number [optional] - An integer from 1 to 31. If you omit this parameter, the date field of the specified Date object will not be modified.

Returns

Number - An integer.

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
