Given that you know the transform (I assume it is an array of transforms?) you can use

var xPos : int = -1;
var yPos : int = -1;

for(var i : int = 0; i < array.GetLength(0); i++)
{
    for(var j : int = 0; j < array.GetLength(0); j++
    {
         if(selectedTransform == array[i, j];
         {
             xPos = i;
             yPos = j;
             break;
         }
    }
    if(xPos != -1)
    {
         break;
    }
}

And then you can use xPos and yPos! If they return -1, it means the selected transform isn’t in the grid (oops);
