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.
