Example
The following example initially creates a new Date object, setting the date to May 15, 2004,
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.
