816 Loader component
Customizing the Loader component
You can transform a Loader component horizontally and vertically 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 the
setSize() method (see
UIObject.setSize()).
The sizing behavior of the Loader component is controlled by the
scaleContent property.
When
scaleContent is true, the content is scaled to fit within the bounds of the loader (and
is rescaled when
UIObject.setSize() is called). When scaleContent is false, the size of
the component is fixed to the size of the content and
UIObject.setSize() has no effect.
