Depending on actually what you want to do:

1) You can only change the stage dimensions by loading a new movie into Level 1.


2) You can however modify all the contents on a timeline:


Set Property ("_level5", X Scale) = "50"

Set Property ("_level5", Y Position) = "50"


3) You could also use Load into Target and control the movie as a regular movie

clip.


It is possible you are applying your properties before the new values have been

loaded.
