_x (TextField._x property)
public _x : Number
An integer that sets the x coordinate of a text field relative to the local coordinates of the
parent movie clip. If a text field is on 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 a 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.

Example
The following example creates a text field wherever you click the mouse. When it creates a
text field, that field displays the current x and y coordinates of the text field.
this.createTextField("coords_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 60,
22);
coords_txt.autoSize = true;
coords_txt.selectable = false;
coords_txt.border = true;
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {
coords_txt.text = "X:"+Math.round(_xmouse)+", Y:"+Math.round(_ymouse);
coords_txt._x = _xmouse;
coords_txt._y = _ymouse;
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
