ECMAScript did it this way and ActionScript was trying to follow ECMAScript.

Or maybe the person that wrote the Java Date class is from Venus and the 
person that wrote the Actionscript one just copied him. You might get quite 
some support on the Java assertion...

I'm suspicious... I think that the person that wrote the Date class is from

Months start at 0 and go up to 11.

Don't ask me why.

says:

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.

You're old enough to make your own decisions about the environment without me 
telling you what you should and shouldn't print. But if you do print, I hope 
this signature doesn't cause the message to go onto an additional page. Because 
that would be kind of stupid, wouldn't it?
