Getting A Folder On An Image Disk

I have been experimenting with this script ...

property aliasAlias : alias "path:to:an:alias file"

tell application "Finder"

try

set targetFolder to (original item of aliasAlias) as alias

-- errors because original item is on an unmounted image disk

on error

try

open aliasAlias -- mounts the image disk and opens window of target folder <<<<<

delay 1 -- wait for disk to mount

set targetFolder to (original item of aliasAlias) as alias -- no error

close window of targetFolder -- closes the unwanted window

on error

set targetFolder to "error"

end try

display dialog targetFolder as text

end tell

The problem is with the line marked <<<<

I would like to mount the image disk, but I can't find any Finder command

other than open which will do this. I need a Finder command which will cause

the image disk to mount, but without opening the target folder.

Did I miss something? Or am I stuck with flashing a folder window at the user?
