Question

How would I get the date of last Monday?

Answer 1

I've done the following, does it seem right?
public static const millisecondsPerDay:int = 1000 * 60 * 60 *
24;
* This function sets the mimimum and maximum range
private function sliceChartWeek():void{
var max:Date = new Date();//current date is our max from
which we will calculate the min
var day:uint = max.day;
var min:Date = new Date(max.getTime() - (millisecondsPerDay
* (max.day - 1)));
dateTimeAxis.minimum = min;
}
