Hi, I have to modify an image (width/height) which is placed by xml-rules.

XML:
... 

      <sometag> <Symbol typ="new" href="myimage.tif"/> </sometag> ...





JavaScript:
... 

      function SymbolRule() { this.name = "Symbol"; this.xpath = "//sometag/Symbol[@typ='new']";
      this.apply = function (element, ruleProcessor) { with (element) { applyObjectStyle("somestyle");
      } }
      ...





How can I now access this image to modify its properties?
I've read <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7295a/2> but I don't understand *where* to place the code to access the image. Is it possible to do it in my XML-Rule SymbolRule()? Or is it "to early" because the image is no yet placed in the document?
