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

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:

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.

Maybe Event.CUT or Event.CLEAR?
