Instead of using new Date(), which returns the current date/time, try something like the following:

var today:Date = new Date();
var yesterday:Date = new Date(today.fullYear, today.month, today.date-1);
dateChooser.disabledRanges = [{rangeEnd:yesterday}];

Instead, users are prevented from selecting any days PRIOR to today PLUS TODAY. How would you make the exclusion begin yesterday going backward (or tomorrow going forward)?
