As the IDE is made with Revolution stacks, it is very easy to explore  
it and pick up ideas, code snippets, etc.
As I told in a previous post, use Rev IDE contextual menu to explore  
it: just be sure to check 'Contextual menus work in Revolution  
windows" in Rev General prefs pane first.

As for this specific resize object between fields, The "How to Manage  
Stack Resizing" tutorial might help you (there is such an example in  
it):
This stack explains how to position, scale, etc. all controls in a  
card when the window is resized with the help of the Geometry Manager  
or by scripting.
Tips and tricks, commented scripts, FAQ and example stacks.

You will access this tutorial through "Tutorials Picker" a free  
plugin that interfaces with the So Smart Software website in order to  
display all available tutorials stacks directly from the web.
You will find it by going to http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/.
Revolution/Plugins or Tutorials section.
