The following example creates a new Date object and uses Date.getUTCFullYear() and Date.getFullYear(). The value returned by Date.getUTCFullYear() may differ from the value returned by Date.getFullYear() if today's date is December 31 or January 1, depending on the relationship between your local time zone and universal time.
var today_date:Date = new Date(); trace(today_date.getFullYear()); // display based on local timezone trace(today_date.getUTCFullYear()); // displays getYear() plus or minus 1
