// converts the Date to UTC by adding or

var PoffsetMilliseconds:Number =
pTimeMS.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
pTimeMS.setTime(pTimeMS.getTime() +

// converts the Date to UTC by adding or

var ToffsetMilliseconds:Number =
tTimeMS.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
tTimeMS.setTime(tTimeMS.getTime() +
ToffsetMilliseconds);
