This is untested, but have you tried setting the defaultstack to the one 
with the selection? For example, if you have a stack "main" with a field 
containing the insertion point, and another stack "floater" that's a 
palette, in the script in the "floater" stack try:

  set the defaultstack to "main"
  get the selectedchunk
