Actually, this is a compiled script being run by an other app.

Thanks.
Then you can't do it unless you require that the script be in the same
folder as the app, or some other folder which you can get to via the various
'path to' constants. You can read about most (many) of those in the
Scripting Additions Dictionary ('path to'): there are others as well, such
as:
path to At Ease documents folder as string
(That's the user Documents folder.) Then construct subfolder paths adding on
":" between each. Then test for an alias there. if it's not there, ask the
user to find it with
choose file
or
choose folder
scripting addition, and save the result as a script property (as an alias,
so it doesn't matter if the user moves it again), so you never have to ask
more than once.
