Description:
With String.replace() method used with "$nn" in ActionScript 
3.0, "$0"+n seems to be recognized as "$"+n+n.

Steps:
1. Write the frame action below:

// ActionScript 3.0
// frame action
var _str:String = "2008-01-25";
var n:int = 1;  // or 2, or 3
trace(_str.replace(/(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/g, "$"+n));
trace(_str.replace(/(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/g, "$0"+n));

2. [Test Movie] and see the result in [Output] panel.

actual results:
2008
20081

expected results:
2008
2008
