That's not possible out of the box yet.

You can make yourself used with the librfxswf C interface though-
the functionality you want should only need a few lines to implement.

Or you can patch the "textcallback" function of swfdump to write
out the coordinates of each text. The x/y coordinates are passed
as startx/starty.
