      The anchor point for textfields is at the bottom left and cannot be changed. I use the following function to centre text
      function centreAt(sprite,x,y)
   local w=sprite:getWidth()
   local h=sprite:getHeight()
 
   sprite:setPosition(math.floor(x-w/2),math.floor(y+h/2))
end
      Then call like this, for example,
      s=TextField.new(nil,"Hello, world")
centreAt(s,100,100)
