Bpatcher resizing

Hi !
I'm trying to resize a Bpatcher with "this.patcher.box.rect", but I can't find how to add/substract a value to one of the existing coordinates (here to the vertical right one).
I have a toggle going in a message [size $1] going in js object.
Here is the code (please, forgive my javascript newbieness) :

---------------------------------------
function size(x)
{
    r = this.patcher.box.rect;
    if (x > 0)
        r[3] = (r[3] + 100);
    else
        r[3] = (r[3] - 100);
}
---------------------------------------

Thanx for your advices.
