Is there a way to resize the canvas via an XML file??

i’m doing a simple banner rotation in flash that reads from an XML file to get the images, the display time and the fade time. is there a way to also define the image size (_height x width_) to change the empty movieclip (canvas). I currently have the customer make the changes (_adding additional images, lengthen the display time…_) without having to touch the FLA, but if they want to use images different than the current movie size i need to open the FLA and change the canvas. i’d REALLY would like to give them the capability to adjust this one function.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
