I am migrating from tinyMCE 3.x to the latest version of tinyMCE 4.x. My problem is that I have dynamic generation of tinyMCE instances so in 3.x I was using:

tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddControl', true, "content_txt");

but in version 4.x this doesn’t work. I started to check the documentation but I can’t find the identifiers for version 4.x

the add/remove editor execCommands worked but lost the editor’s
configuration. I found these show/hide methods to be more equivalent
to the old add/remove controls commands.

tinyMCE.editors[id].show();
tinyMCE.editors[id].hide();

Use mceRemoveEditor/mceAddEditor exactly the same commands as stated here http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31256

Migration is very simple, replace

tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddControl', true, "content_txt");

by

tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceAddEditor', true, "content_txt");

When you want to turn it of, you can use

tinymce.EditorManager.execCommand('mceRemoveEditor', false, "content_txt");
