Thanks Keith, Just for the record: Q: Sprite is the same as a MovieClip but without the timeline, isn't it?

MovieClip.width and MovieClip.height are not listed as MovieClip properties in the documentation. Maybe you should switch to Sprites. If this was AS2 you still would not be able to assign values to _width and _height for an empty movieclip.
