Tinymce get content

Question

I try to get the content of tinymce, like this:

 var hallo = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent();
            alert(hallo);

but every time I get this message:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getContent' of null

I am using tinymce 4.

Thank you

You can get tinyMCE content by calling the the method triggerSave in the following way

tinyMCE.triggerSave();

after declaring this method you can get the contents by selector for example:-

var contents = $("#myTextArea").val();

or

var contents = tinyMCE.get('myTextArea').getContent();
