Editor feature layer with existing selection

Hello,
I have an esri editor in my application.
It is started as this:

var featLyr:FeatureLayer = getEditLayer();
    var featArr:Array =  [ featLyr ];
    myEditor.featureLayers = featArr ;  
    myEditor.updateGeometryEnabled = true;             
    myEditor.addEnabled = true;
    myEditor.deleteEnabled = true;
    myEditor.updateAttributesEnabled = false;
    myEditor.attributeInspector.visible = false;

It works fine so far, but if the featurelayer returned by getEditLayer() already contains a selection, in the editor the buttons "Clear selection" and "Delete" are not activated. I add the following lines, to cause the editor to activate the buttons, but it looks very much like a bas workaround to me.

setTimeout(updateSelectionState, 1000);

  private function updateSelectionState():void
  {
   EditorSkin(myEditor.skin).currentState = getEditLayer().selectedFeatures && getEditLayer().selectedFeatures.length > 0 ? "featuresSelected":"normal"; 
  }

Does someone found a better solution?
bye,
Andreas Ruloffs
