I dont know what this does, but it might be able to help you:

Search in your flash helpfile for 'TextSnapshot.getSelectedText()'...

Like I said. Im not at all sure what this does, but it might be in the right direction...
Good luck!

thank you for the help MORG but the solution if someone need it is
Selection.getBeginIndex() and Selection.getEndIndex()
;)
