Correct answer robin_briggs

What you need to do is to get the location of the cursor from the interactionManager:

var pos:int = textFlow.interactionManager.absoluteStart;

and pass it to the flowComposer to get the controller:

var controllerIndex:int = textFlow.flowComposer.findControllerIndexAtPosition(pos);


var controller:ContainerController = textFlow.flowComposer.getControllerAt(controllerIndex);

Something like that should get you what you need.
