I am attempting to run this script through AppleScript Studio (3.1.3, OS X 10.5.7 Intel) and when it runs, I immediately get an AppleScript error -1708.

-- begin script
property plistString : "This is da BOMB!"

on readPlist()
fileAlias = (path to me) & "test.plist" as alias

That won't work. You can use ...

set filePath to ((path to me) as text) & "test.plist"

to get a path string directly, or use this ...

set fileAlias to (item "test.plist" of (path to me)) as alias

set filePath to fileAlias as text
