Convert timestamp to readable date

[fido_glc]

Hello.

I have a timestamp in the form "1239315541" and I need to convert it to a readable date.

How can I do that ? Is there a function that I can use ? Please help.

(I am using Flash 8 and ActionScript 2.0.)


I am looking forward to your help.

Thank you.

something like this ??

var d:Date = new Date(1239315541);
trace(d); // Thu Jan 15 08:15:15 GMT+0000 1970

Well, I tried that and I am getting a wrong date in 1970.

Is there something else that I should be doing or the timestamp might not be working good ?

trace(d); // Thu Jan 15 08:15:15 GMT+0000 1970

try * 1000 to get good date so the code will be

var d:Date = new Date(1239315541000);
trace(d); // Fri Apr 10 00:19:01 GMT+0200 2009
