I would search for a Diff algorithm (There is a wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff) and either try to implement it in Flex or send the texts to a backend Diff processor and just display the results (There are a lot of scripts available in multiple languages so I see no point in re-inventing the wheel in Flex - unless, of course, you want to)
