Date.getUTCDay() and Date.getDay() can report a new value if the day of the week changes as
a result of calling this method.
Example
The following example initially creates a new Date object with today’s date, uses
Date.setUTCFullYear() to change the year value to 2001, and changes the date to May 25,
1995:
var my_date:Date = new Date();
my_date.setUTCFullYear(2001);
trace(my_date.getUTCFullYear()); // output: 2001
my_date.setUTCFullYear(1995, 4, 25);
trace(my_date.getUTCFullYear()); // output: 1995
trace(my_date.getUTCMonth()); // output: 4
trace(my_date.getUTCDate()); // output: 25
