Sad to say, you can't detect which point is selected. Getting the location is easy after that.

Working with path points is a frustrating exercise. I keep finding myself either working out which point is which (by index) on the path or using logic like:

for (var j = myPoints.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
	var myAnch = myPoints[j].anchor;
	if (myAnch[1] > 18) {
		myAnch[1] = myBL;
		myPoints[j].anchor = myAnch
	}
}
