Why bother extending it? Why not just build an MXML component consisting of a DateChooser and a "Today" button in a vbox? Then either create methods in your component that set values that the DateChooser binds to, or use "customComponentInstance.dateChooser.selectedDate" or something similar to access it? That's what I did when I wanted to add a "null this field" button to DateField.
