Register the TextField as a listener of the Mouse object. Then you can use an onMouseMove event handler to display the mouse location. =)  
[AS]myTextFieldInstanceName.onMouseMove = function() {  
this.text = “X:”+\_root.\_xmouse+"\rY:"+\_root.\_ymouse;  
};  
Mouse.addListener(myTextFieldInstanceName);[/AS]
