The following example creates a new Date object with the date set to May 25, 2004, uses setYear() to change the year to 1999, and changes the year to 2003:

var my_date:Date = new Date(2004,4,25);
trace(my_date.getYear()); // output: 104
trace(my_date.getFullYear()); // output: 2004
my_date.setYear(99);
trace(my_date.getYear()); // output: 99
trace(my_date.getFullYear()); // output: 1999
my_date.setYear(2003);
trace(my_date.getYear()); // output: 103
trace(my_date.getFullYear()); // output: 2003
