Oh - sorry, should have said - you'll need to get at the .textField property of (for example) your mx.controls.Text object, which will give you back the raw flash.text.TextField for you to then call getCharBoundaries() on it.
Unfortunately, .textField is a protected property of mx.controls.Text, so can't be seen from outside the class. The simplest way to get at it is to extend mx.controls.Text - build your own component that inherits from Text. That will give you access to the .textField property you need; then you can call methods on it as appropriate.
