Flash-AS3: Elapsed months or days

I would like to know how to get the elapsed months or days in order to know if 2 years have elapsed.

I did test this:

var date1_ms:Number = 1375363246687;
var date2_ms:Date = new Date();
var dif:Number = getDif(date1_ms,date2_ms);

function getDif(date1:Number,date2:Date):int
{
    var one_day:Number = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
    var date2_ms:Number = date2.getTime();  
    var difference_ms:Number = Math.abs(date1_ms - date2_ms)    
    trace (difference_ms);
    return Math.round(difference_ms/one_day);
    trace (dif);
}

But I'm not getting the value of dif. How can I get it?

Note: The var date1_ms will be stored in a XML.
date2_ms must be the current date.

Your trace call is after the function's return statement. It will never execute. You'll probably want to move it to the line below where you call getDif.
