Only the right side can be set... the top and left are fixed origin points, and the bottom of the textfield depends on content and style.
For some fast fun, type a textfield in cast 1, drag it to the Stage, and work this single Frame Script: on exitFrame if the mouseH > 320 then set delta = 5 else set delta = -5 set the rect of cast 1 = the rect of cast 1 + rect(0,0,delta,0) go the frame end (There's no inside info here... I wuz just playing with Director and came across this. As it's not documented I cannot guarantee that this will work in future versions but I'll do my best to see that it does.)
