Problem in using CutOperation

Question

Hi,
I'm having problem in using "CutOperation" object directly.
When calling EditManager's method "cutTextScrap" then cut operation
works but if I create CutOperation and execute it using the
EditManager's doOperation() then it throws exception. Can you
please point out what am I doing wrong here.

//This code works:
var selState:SelectionState = new SelectionState(textFlow, 5,
10);
var textScrap:TextScrap = em.cutTextScrap(selState);

//This code doesn't work:
var selState:SelectionState = new SelectionState(textFlow, 5,
10);
var textScrap:TextScrap = new TextScrap(textFlow);
var op:CutOperation = new CutOperation(selState, textScrap);
em.doOperation(op);

Thanks,
Ahmed

Try creating the TextScrap using SelectionManager instead:

var textScrap:TextScrap = em.createTextScrap();

Then use that when you create the new CutOperation. I haven't coded the whole thing, but I think that should work.
