Yes. You can use View.findDrawableById() to get the drawable, and then you can use methods of the Drawable interface to manipulate it.
```
function moveDrawable(id as String, offsetX as Numeric, offsetY…
```

function moveDrawable(id as String, offsetX as Numeric, offsetY as Numeric) as Void {

    var drawable = self.findDrawableById(id);
    if (drawable != null) {
        drawable.setLocation(drawable.locX + offsetX, drawable.locY + offsetY);
    }
}

Thanks, how about changing font size on the fly?

I found this simple solution works

var field= View.findDrawableById("field") as Text;

field.locX = 150;
