If you really are desperate to get a solution right now, why not just invoke
the actual AppleScript instead of sending an AE. I recall that there is an
API to do this (though that might be in Cocoa, not Carbon - I don't remember
which) but you can always just invoke a subprocess that uses
/usr/bin/osascript
