Please help how to change the height and width of an image which is loading from the XML file

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(movieclip, levels);//working
loadMovie(“images/” + filename, movieclip); //working
setProperty(movieclip, _x, posx); //working
setProperty(movieclip, _rotation, 45); //working

[COLOR=red]setProperty(movieclip, _height, 45);[/COLOR] //not working
