Depends what sort of calculations you are looking to do.

For example, to increase a date object by a certain number of months you
might do this:

dt.setMonth(dt.getMonth() + 30);

Or, to add a number of days you might do this:

dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + 100);

Doing maths of a date object will convert the object into a value in
milliseconds (as if you did Date.getTime() - which you really should to
avoid confusion). So,

var d:Number = dt1 - dt2;

or

var d:Number = dt1.getTime() - dt2.getTime();

will return the difference between the two dates in milliseconds.

another way of incrementing a date might be:

var d:Number = dt.getTime() + (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
dt.setTime(d);

That should give you enough to think about.
