Try passing the explicit values to your function:
setFBack(mytext.Selection.getBeginIndex(), mytext,Selection.getEndIndex())
function setFBack(begin:Number, end:Number){
}
OR (Flex 2??):
public var begin:Number;
etc..
Maybe one of these will help.
Good Luck

Seems like some event is changing the Selection after I set it.

certain events happen on other controls I can setFocus back to the

the highlighted text is not the same as the positions I submitted but
the indexes seem to get set to -1,-1. Anyone dealt with this before?
