revealing invisible files

I'm having trouble working with invisible files with Applescript in MacOS X. When I name them, I get the error: "Finder got an error: Can't get file blah of folder blah . . . ", even with the reveal command, meant to reveal invisible files. Using ResEdit to set the visibility bit to Visible, I can then work with the same file in AppleScript. So, is there a way to work with them in the MacOS X Finder using AppleScript? Any advice and/or examples would be appreciated. Thank you.
