How about this ?

if aText does not start with "file://localhost" then
return ""
else

end if
tell application "Finder"
set aName to name of startup disk
end tell
set a to decode_text(aText) of me
set b to replace_chars(a, "/", ":") of me
return aName & b
end urlToPath

Hi all,
If I got an URL as file path, how can I make this path either into a
posix path or load it directly?
I have tried
call method "initWithURL:byReference:" of object "NSMovie"
But I can't make it work
