Force Finder to open a package window

Hi all,

i've some files stored at the top level of packages (Smile dialogs, graphic windows).
Is there a way to force the finder BY SCRIPT to open a window which shows the contents of the package at its root level (similar to Finder's appropriate context menu)?


If the_file contains the path to that file:

tell application "Finder" to reveal file the_file

--> opens a window with the folder which contains the package

tell application "Finder" to open folder (container of file the_file)

and other combinations

--> leads to an error

Any help appreciated,

Kurt
