Customizing the UIScrollBar

You can transform a UIScrollBar component horizontally and vertically while authoring and at run time. However, a vertical UIScrollBar does not allow you to modify the width, and a horizontal UIScrollBar does not allow you to modify the height. 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 UIScrollBar class such as the width, height, scaleX, and scaleY properties.

NOTE

If you use the setSize() method, you can change only the width of a horizontal scroll bar or the height of a vertical scroll bar. At the time of authoring you can set the height of a horizontal scroll bar or the width of a vertical scroll bar, but the values will be reset when the movie is published. Only the dimension of a scroll bar that corresponds to its length can be changed.
