If I remember correctly using onRelease or even onPress is to late and the selection is already gone. To store the selection indexes you need to use the onMouseDown event.

Hi all, I'm trying to build a quite simple text editor in f8 and are currently having some problems with the Selecton class. If anyone can give me some pointers it would be much apreciated. Problem is that whenever I try to use my buttons I loose focus of the textField and the Selection doesn't trigger. Like so: boldButton.onRelease = function () { my_txt.setTextFormat(Selection.getBeginIndex(), Selection.getEndIndex(), arialBold); } Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex() only returns -1 And if someone has a live exemple (with code) that would be awesome. A component is not an option tho.
