Trying to achieve something like AS3.0’s TextField.getCharBoundaries() but in AS 2.0, smashing head long into a wall.

Ultimately what I’m trying to set up are links that when clicked bring up a “tooltip” or content box under the word that has been clicked. I’ve seen similar threads started by people looking to do something similar but with out any solutions.

Any ideas?
