How can I detect if the the selection has changed in the timeline, and also if the active timeline has changed, from a CEP panel?

Correct answer mortoray

The event for sequence selection changes is `onSequenceSelectionChanged`

 

This is fired for any change in the selection on the active sequence. It also appears to fire when the activeSequence changes.

At the ExtendScript (not the JavaScript/CEP level), the PProPanel example shows how to detect and set selections within a sequence:

...as well as when the seuqence itself changes:

The event "onActiveSequenceChanged" is not fired when the selection changes.

 

It does fire if I modify the sequence, like move a clip, but that's not what I want. I want to know when the selection changes.
