extending isometric shapes dynamically

[smugdog]

I have an isometric cube whose width I need to extend dynamically based on some numeric data in the browser's querystring.
Does anyone have an idea of the best way to extend the shape without it transforming? If I make the cuboid a symbol, changing it's width property using a for loop just causes the shape to stretch (obvious in hindsight).
Is there a way in Flash to access the x/y coordinates of the nodes on a shape? Although the maths would be a pain, at least this way I could just select a bunch of nodes and increment their x value...
Any help greatly appreciated.
