Customizing the Slider

You can transform a Slider component horizontally while authoring and at run time. While authoring, select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands. At run time, use the setSize() method or any applicable properties of the Slider class, such as the width and scaleX properties.

You can only make a slider longer. You cannot increase its height. Flash ignores the height property and the height parameter of the setSize() method. You can create a vertical slider and make it longer vertically, though.
