Get Selected Paragraphs

Question

Hi,How can I get an array (or a reference) to the selected paragraphs? I tried a "ElementRange" that is updated every time the SelectionState changes, but it only has a reference to the first and last paragraphs.Any ideas?tks.

I haven't checked this, but it seems like something like this should work:

paragraphArray:Array = [];

var range:ElementRange = ElementRange.createElementRange(textFlow, absoluteStart,absoluteEnd);

var lastParagraph:ParagraphElement = range.lastParagraph;

for (var leaf:FlowLeafElement = range.firstLeaf; leaf != null; leaf = leaf.getNextLeaf(lastParagraph))

{

var paragraph:ParagraphElement = leaf.getParagraph();

paragraphArray.push(paragraph); // or just do something with the paragraph here

}

return paragraphArray;
