Get a file's icon???

Hello everyone,

I have been rackN my brain all day trying to come up with a way to grab the
icon of a file or folder. I can't seem to find anything that can do it. I am
trying to show a directory of images in Filemaker... I can get the list of the
files VIA applescript by giving it a path to the folder. No Prob there. But I
would like to have it grab the thumbnail image that is set by Photoshop from
the 'get info' window (command - i); the icon I mean. Is there something out
that that can do this... an addition maybe? Even if all it did was copy the
icon to the clipboard that would be good enough, at this point I am at a loss
for any other solution, other than using generic icons based on the creator
type and file type (which I really do not want to do).

TIA
-Robbie
