I’m trying to make a Finder alias (not an Applescript alias) to a

red (label index = 2). The weird thing is that sometimes this
script works and sometimes I get an error when trying to set the
label index value.
Do I have some syntax wrong? I don’t understand how it can work
some of the time and other times fail.
I couldn't get your version to fail on my mac, but I'd try this
anyway...
set NewAliasFolder to make new alias file at ((folder "Desktop" of
home) as alias) to (x) with properties {name:"new alias folder"}
You are creating an alias file. Your script may be confusing the
finder or appleScript which sees an alias as one thing and an alias
file as something else. Your version probably shouldn't work, but
AppleScript is trying to be forgiving.
