you want to make it bigger right?

right click on the bar/Free transform then you can set it to the hight and width of your choice

does this answer your question?🙂

You can make the bar as long as you want, but you have to make sure you also update the code. If not, it will not grow to the new length, but still to the old length. For example, you resize your bar to 200px. You will then have to change this line in the code:

```auto

this.loadBar._width = getPercent*200;

```

Only that line, none of the others.

Thats because the registration point for the loadbar is on its center.  
Set it to the left and the loadbar should grow to the right only.
