Dynamically resizing images using the UILoader component in Flash using ActionScript 3.0

The following example shows how you can automatically resize a Flash ActionScript 3.0 UILoader container by setting the Boolean scaleContent property. A value of true indicates that the image is automatically scaled to the size of the UILoader instance; a value of false indicates that the loaded content is automatically scaled to its default size.

Full code after the jump.

// ActionScript 3.0
/* Requires:
 * - UILoader component in Flash library
 */
import fl.containers.UILoader;
 
var uiLoader:UILoader = new UILoader();
uiLoader.scaleContent = false;
uiLoader.source = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg";
uiLoader.move(10, 10);
addChild(uiLoader);
