I'm trying to specify a given height for a beamer block. I tried to specify a new environment based on an example I found elsewhere on this forum (reproduced below), but failed miserably.. What I would like to do is to specify, each time, the height of the block (instead of its width). Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Example code:
\newenvironment<>{varblock}[2][.9\textwidth]{%
\setlength{\textwidth}{#1}
\begin{actionenv}#3%
\def\insertblocktitle{#2}%
\par%
\usebeamertemplate{block begin}}
{\par%
\usebeamertemplate{block end}%
\end{actionenv}}
