How to get the height and width of a picture in powerpoint using Applescript

Question

Can anyone tell me how I can get the width and height of a shape (image) object in PowerPoint using Applescript? I have tried many ways, but none work! I load the image by:

    set thePicture to make new picture at end with properties {lock aspect ratio:true, file name:item idx of HAImageNames}

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I found my problem. I as trying:

    set x to width of thePicture

Apparently "x" is a special variable/name. When I tried:

    set xx to width of thePicture

This worked as expected.
