I use FlashMX 2004. I need to know how to change the width and height of the MovieClip when it loads to the stage. I used the following method

instanceName.\_height=value  
instanceName.\_width=value

but when I do like this movie does not load. when I do this method to vary x and y position of the movie it works.
