Annoying setImageMap setSize problem.

I brought this up in another thread and I decided to break it off into its own unique problem. I have this section of code to create a projectile and fire it, but it seems like I can not rope in the size of the image at all.

%machinegun = new t2dStaticSprite() { scenegraph = sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph(); };
   %machinegun.setImageMap( "particles1ImageMap" );
   %machinegun.setSize = "1, 1";
   %machinegun.setPosition( turret.getlinkpoint("2") ); 
   %machinegun.setRotation( turret.getRotation() );
   $machinegunSpeed = p1Tank.machineGunSpeed;
   %machinegun.setLinearVelocityPolar(   turret.getRotation(), t2dVectorLength(turret.getLinearVelocity() ) + $machinegunSpeed );


Phillip \"Renolc\" Gibson said change the .setSize to %cannon.setSize( 1, 1 ); which is exactly what is in the shooter demo, but that kicks out a parse error, I am at a little of a loss why it is erroring out.

setSize is a function, not a field
%machinegun.setSize(1, 1);

Nevermind, it was a really stupid mistake. when I tried what Philip and the demo said to do I had been putting in an equal sign ' = ' where there was no call for it :-p so instead of %cannon.setSize( 1, 1 ); I was using %cannon.setSize = ( 1, 1 );

And thank you Drew and Phillip :)
