The only way I know if is this:

-- field script
on mouseDown
  resetText
  if the clickText <> "" then
    put the hilitedLines of me into hLines
    repeat with x = 1 to the number of items of hLines
      set the foregroundColor of line (item x of hLines) of me to black
    end repeat
  else
    set the hilitedLines of me to ""
  end if
end mouseDown

on resetText
  set the foregroundColor of line 1 to \
    (the number of lines of me) of me to white
end resetText
