Can't get selectionAnchorPosition to work

[kamcknig <ka...@gmail.com>]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what it's supposed to do, but if i select a block
of text with the mouse with the following code and then hit the backspace
key, the selectionActiveIndex is always equal to the selectionAnchorIndex. I
also tried the change event with the same results, and the textInput event
but that doesn't get fired with backspace

How would I be able to get the selection before then? Is there an event
fired when a selection occurs?

Oh jeez. As I'm typing this I looked it up and there is a SelectionEvent.
Not sure how I missed that. Thank you much!

It should be different before your hit backspace, but after, no characters
will be selected, so they'll be equal.
