This works OMM. The idea is you can include a list instead of a folder name and it treats the list as { parent, child, grandchild }, etc. It doesn't allow for multiple subfolders past the first level, though.
property subf_names : {{"Design", "Stage 1"}, "Based On", "Artwork"}
on make_subs(parent_folder, name_list)
set this_folder to parent_folder
repeat with elem in name_list
if class of elem is list then
tell application "Finder" to set next_folder to (make new folder at parent_folder with properties {name:item 1 of elem}) as alias
make_subs(next_folder, items 2 through end of elem)
else
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at parent_folder with properties {name:elem}
end if
end repeat
end make_subs
--
display dialog "Enter job name:" default answer "job name"
set j_name to text returned of result
repeat
display dialog "Enter job number:" default answer "0"
set j_number to text returned of result
try
if (j_number as integer) < 100000 and ¬
(j_number as integer) > -1 then exit repeat
on error
display dialog "Error: enter an integer less than 100,000."
end try
end repeat
set job_number to text -6 thru -1 of ("0000" & j_number & "_")
set temp_name to job_number & j_name
tell application "Finder"
set main_folder to (make new folder at desktop with properties {name:temp_name}) as alias
end tell
make_subs(main_folder, subf_names)
