and uses
Date.setDate() to change the date to May 25, 2004:
var today_date:Date = new Date(2004,4,15);
trace(today_date.getDate()); //displays 15
today_date.setDate(25);
trace(today_date.getDate()); //displays 25
setFullYear (Date.setFullYear method)
public setFullYear(year:Number, [month:Number], [date:Number]) : Number
Sets the year of the specified Date object, according to local time and returns the new time in
milliseconds. If the
month and date parameters are specified, they are set to local time. Local
time is determined by the operating system on which Flash Player is running.
Calling this method does not modify the other fields of the specified Date object but
Date.getUTCDay() and Date.getDay() can report a new value if the day of the week
changes as a result of calling this method.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5
Parameters
year:Number - A four-digit number specifying a year. Two-digit numbers do not represent
four-digit years; for example, 99 is not the year 1999, but the year 99.
month:Number [optional] - An integer from 0 (January) to 11 (December). If you omit this
parameter, the month field of the specified Date object will not be modified.
