| Yeah. I mean a list. I just looked at the coercion types and sadly, every item does not work for this.
I was doing this so I could get a bunch of files and of those files, only get the PNG ones. I ended up walking the list and using "ends with" instead of trying to get "the name extension" and everything worked.
Thanks.

When you say ‘array’ do you mean a list?
{item, item, item}
An ‘alias’ in appleScript is simply a reference to a file.
Do you want to create an ‘alias file’ to the file referenced by each alias in a list?
If so:
Set someItems to {}
Repeat with thisItem in folderList
Set the end of someItems to make new alias file at desktop to thisItem
End repeat
the “every item of “ construct doesn’t work on lists.
