trace(date.getFullYear()… \> how to show O N L Y the year ? ?

I´ve found this on the action script dictionary :

…  
var date:Date = new Date();  
trace(date.getYear()); // displays 104  
trace(date.getFullYear()); // displays current year

…

var date is shown by means a dynamic txt , variable = date ;  
week day , month , date , local hour and GMT , and finally  
what I am actually interested : the four digits format year : 2005 ,  
are exhibited ;  
what it has to be added to the code to show nothing but year ?  
Thank you
