Customizing the TextInput component

You can transform a TextInput component horizontally while authoring and at runtime. While authoring, select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands. At runtime, use UIObject.setSize() or any applicable properties and methods of the TextInput class.

When a TextInput component is resized, the border is resized to the new bounding box. The TextInput component doesn't use scroll bars, but the insertion point scrolls automatically as the user interacts with the text. The text field is then resized within the remaining area; there are no fixed-size elements in a TextInput component. If the TextInput component is too small to display the text, the text is clipped.
