You mean this?

package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;

    public class DateExample extends Sprite
    {
        public function DateExample()
        {
            super();

            var now:Date = new Date();
            trace("now: " + now.toString());

            var startDate:Date = new Date(now.fullYear, now.month, 1);
            trace("start: " + startDate.toString());

            var endDate:Date = new Date(now.fullYear, ++now.month, 0);
            trace("end:   " + endDate.toString());
        }
    }
}

output:

now: Fri Oct 21 00:15:09 GMT-0500 2011
start: Sat Oct 1 00:00:00 GMT-0500 2011
end: Mon Oct 31 00:00:00 GMT-0500 2011
