Here is my code. I have tried this with 7,0,35,29 on IE and Firefox. Seems like 
some event is changing the Selection after I set it.
 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
 <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   var begin:Number;
   var end:Number;
   function updateSelection() {
    begin = Selection.getBeginIndex();
    end = Selection.getEndIndex();
   }
   
   function setFBack() {
    Selection.setFocus(mytext);
    Selection.setSelection(begin,end);
   }
   
   
  ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 <mx:TextArea id="mytext" width="500" height="400" mouseUp="updateSelection()"/>
 <mx:ComboBox id="cbtest"  change="setFBack()" >
  <mx:dataProvider>
   <mx:Array>
    <mx:String>Macromedia Flex</mx:String>
    <mx:String>Macromedia Dreamweaver</mx:String>
    <mx:String>Macromedia ColdFusion</mx:String>
    <mx:String>Macromedia Flash</mx:String>
   </mx:Array>
  </mx:dataProvider> 
 </mx:ComboBox>
</mx:Application>

Hi,
 
Can you please post the sample code, how are you doing?
 
I think, it should work. Which version of Flash Player you are testing it in?

Subject: [flexcoders] Selection.setSelection Issue


I am storing the current selected indexes of my TextArea so when certain events 
happen on other controls I can setFocus back to the TextArea and set the 
selectedText back to where it was. When I do this the highlighted text is not 
the same as the positions I submitted but the indexes seem to get set to -1,-1. 
Anyone dealt with this before?
 
Brian
