The following example creates a new Date object for Mary's birthday, August 12, 1974
(because the month parameter is zero-based, the example uses 7 for the month, not 8):
var maryBirthday:Date = new Date (74, 7, 12);
The following example creates a new Date object and concatenates the returned values of
Date.getMonth(), Date.getDate(), and Date.getFullYear():
var today_date:Date = new Date();

"+today_date.getDate()+"/"+today_date.getFullYear());
trace(date_str); // displays current date in United States date format
