Sure; change the sequence's zeroPoint.

var startTimeOffset = activeSequence.zeroPoint;

Hey Bruce, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I'm still unsure how to apply this.

I don't see zeroPoint in the Data Browser.

Maybe more context is needed. Say I want to set the start time of the active sequence to 00;59;50;00

thanks so much for you help,

var seq = app.project.activeSequence;

if (seq){

var newStartTime = seq.end - seq.timebase;

seq.setZeroPoint(newStartTime);

}

setZeroPoint takes a time in ticks; 254016000000 ticks per second.

Success. Thanks so much.
