is this what you meant?
the below script gave me the error:
'File file:///Users/robert/Desktop/Fonovisa.dmg wasn't found.'
--------------
--defines
set gbaseURL to "http://www.siren.cc/Univision/fonovisa/Library/nsis/";
set gFonovisaDMG to ((path to desktop as Unicode text) & "Fonovisa.dmg")
-- download the dmg file with curl
set the_command to "curl " & gbaseURL & "Fonovisa.dmg" & " -o " &
quoted form of POSIX path of gFonovisaDMG
do shell script the_command
mount volume ("file://" & POSIX path of gFonovisaDMG as alias)
-------------
I also tried moving the 'as alias'
which gives the error: An error of type -36 has occurred.

In this, "path to desktop" is returning an alias to which you are
trying to concatenate a string. Not going to work.
Try this instead
set gFonovisaDMG to ((path to desktop as Unicode text) &
"Fonovisa.dmg")
The result of which is a string, add "as alias" at the end of the
above to coerce it back to an alias (file must exist).
