public _xscale : Number
Determines the horizontal scale of the text field as applied from the registration point of the
text field, expressed as a percentage. The default registration point is (0,0).
Example
The following example scales the my_txt instance when you click the scaleUp_btn and
scaleDown_btn instances.
this.createTextField("my_txt", 99, 10, 40, 100, 22);
my_txt.autoSize = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.selectable = false;
my_txt.text = "Sample text goes here.";
scaleUp_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_txt._xscale = 2;
my_txt._yscale = 2;
}
scaleDown_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_txt._xscale /= 2;
my_txt._yscale /= 2;
}

_y (TextField._y property)
public _y : Number
The y coordinate of a text field relative to the local coordinates of the parent movie clip. If a
text field is in the main Timeline, then its coordinate system refers to the upper left corner of
the Stage as (0, 0). If the text field is inside another movie clip that has transformations,(the
text field is in the local coordinate system of the enclosing movie clip. Thus, for a movie clip
rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the enclosed text field inherits a coordinate system that
is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The text field's coordinates refer to the registration
point position.
