While you're dividing by 1000, you're not multiplying it back again.. Try this instead: var dateNew = new Date(); dateNew.setTime(unixTime*1000); trace(dateNew); The explanation about why the timestamp differs if you re-enter it is because Flash has a different approach to epoch’s: not in seconds but in milliseconds.
