by adding as alias also worked with your script:

tell application "Finder"
	set my_file_path to path to desktop folder
	-- get container of my_file_path as text
	set directory_path to (container of my_file_path) as alias
end tell


(the script michelle replied with works perfectly also)

Hello, David.

Actually finding path works for me.
However finding "containing folder" doesn't work for me.
