The Flex DateChooser is notorious for being difficult to work with and extend. In a recent project I was developing a scheduling mechanism and wanted to display more than one month at a time to the user. While searching for other components utilizing a calendar I found that not much has been done with customizing the DateChooser.

I started with laying out a customizable number of calendars in a row, and added buttons to navigate forward and backward month by month. When navigating all calendars change at the same time and stay in consecutive order so you can see a span of time instead of being confined to one month.

I also added in listeners for selecting a date from one calendar so that there would be only one currently selected date across all calendars.. I finished it off with redispatching a dateChanged event to make it easy for outside components to listen for a date being selected.

Feel free to make use of this component in your own projects and post any comments or questions, the code can be found here in our SVN.
