Nice thks. But $current_screen object is not available at init and
admin_init time.

I ended up by using admin_enqueue_scripts hook like this:

        function admin_enqueue_scripts ()
	{
		
		global $current_screen;
		
		if( $current_screen->post_type !== 'winner') return;
		if( $current_screen->action !== 'add' && (!isset($_GET['action']) ||
$_GET['action'] !== 'edit') ) return;
		
		wp_enqueue_script('editor');
		
	}

Something weird, when creating a new post, $current_screen->action is
set to 'add' whereas when editing it, it is empty...
Shouldn't it be set to 'edit' ? Is that a bug that needs to be reported?
