Well if you don't have that "as file specification" it won't work. I
didn't know about that; thanks.

This works:

set x to (choose file) as string
file x as file specification

This doesn't:

set x to (choose file)
file x as file specification
--> Can't make file (alias "Brede:Desktop Folder:montanafire11.jpg") of
+script; into a file specification.
