[flexcoders] Re: TextArea text change event doesn't work in all cases

[s_grollins]

We're using Flex SDK 3.2 - these event types aren't present. I also tried:

textArea.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, handler, false, 0, 
true);

This did not work either.

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
