See the example below, hope this is what you're looking for.

var

tf:TextField = new TextField();

tf.text = "AAAA";

var x:Number = tf.x;

var y:Number = tf.y;

var h:Number = tf.height;

var w:Number = tf.width;

If your actually looking for the textfield object itself, I don't believe you are going to be able to find it. I have been doing some investigation into this as I'm working on custom context menu's and the root of the issue comes down to the fact that a textflow is not a display object and not part of the display object tree, thus you won't find something akin to the old textfield displayobject, however, the individual textlines themselves are display objects, so you might be able to either look into those directly, or just work against the container object of the text lines, that should work as well. Hope this helps!
