Bad Code 2:

var TargetDate:Date = new Date(_year, _month, _date, _hour, _minute=false);

or

var TargetDate:Date = new Date(_year, _month, _date, _hour, _minute=String);

Good Code 2:

var TargetDate:Date = new Date(_year, _month, _date, _hour, _minute=10);

AS3 Error 1067 Fix #2 – In the example below you will see that the function “Return Type” is listed as “int” when it needs to be listed as String.  To fix this simply change the Return Type to String or return a valid integer.

Bad Code:

function bob():int
{
return “message”;
}

Good Code:

function bob():String
{
return “message”;
}
