Calender view using charts

Question

Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a calender view for a week using charts with days on x axis and hours on y axis.
I would like to highlight the meetings in any color to give a weekly view. But I am not able to highlight more than one meeting in a single day.
I am totally new to charts. Please advise me what is the best axis and series to be implemented for the case.
Thanks a lot in advance.
This is what I am using
[Bindable]
  private var expensesAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [
  { Date: "25-Jul", Open: 40.75,  High: 40.75, Low: 40.24, Close:40.31},
  { Date: "26-Jul", Open: 39.98,  High: 40.78, Low: 39.97, Close:40.34},
  { Date: "27-Jul", Open: 40.38,  High: 40.66, Low: 40, Close:40.63},
  { Date: "28-Jul", Open: 40.49,  High: 40.99, Low: 40.3, Close:40.98},
  { Date: "29-Jul", Open: 40.13,  High: 40.4, Low: 39.65, Close:39.95},
  { Date: "1-Aug", Open: 39.00,  High: 39.50, Low: 38.7, Close:38.6},
  { Date: "2-Aug", Open: 38.68,  High: 39.34, Low: 37.75, Close:38.84},
  { Date: "3-Aug", Open: 38.76,  High: 38.76, Low: 38.03, Close:38.12},
  { Date: "4-Aug", Open: 37.98,  High: 37.98, Low: 36.56, Close:36.69},                      
  { Date: "5-Aug", Open: 36.61,  High: 37, Low: 36.48, Close:36.86} ]);

Why are you using a Chart component to render calendar data? There are some pretty powerful calendar components that are built for this purpose , ours included : Flexicious | Flex Calendar Component - New with Flexicious 3.1
