That didn't seem right so I just tried this. If I right click and then either select Cut, Paste or Delete a change event fires.
This is my test app: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function onChange(event:Event):void { trace("change"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:TextArea id="myTextArea" change="onChange(event)" text="Hello There"/> </mx:Application> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "s_grollins" <s.groll...@...> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I've recently come across a problem wherein we have a textarea with a listener listening for Event.CHANGE events - the problem with this is that an event isn't dispatched when a user selects text in the textarea using their mouse, and then right-clicks and deletes text using the menu. I've tried attaching MouseEvent listeners but have had no luck - does anyone have any suggestions? Am I overlooking something? >
