Create new event in iCal that triggers an applescript

Question

Dear applescripters
I am trying to write a script that creates an event in applescript that launches an applescript.
This is the code:
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar "Verstuur"
set theCurrentDate to current date
set time of theCurrentDate to (time of theCurrentDate) + 60
set verstuur to make new event at end with properties {start date:theCurrentDate, end date:theCurrentDate + 1 * minutes}
tell verstuur
make new open file alarm at end with properties {trigger interval:0, filepath:POSIX path of "file://localhost/Users/jschaafsma/Desktop/Verstuurfilmpje"}
end tell
end tell
end tell
when iCal tries to trigger the script iCal generates an error that the file Verstuurfilmpje is not found.
Any ideas what i am doing wrong?
Thanks

Well, for one, your file path isn't valid.
… filepath:POSIX path of "file://localhost/Users/jschaafsma/Desktop/Verstuurfilmpje"}
First off, POSIX path of takes a Mac-style (i.e. colon-delimited) path or alias and converts it to an POSIX path, so either you need to drop the 'POSIX path of' code, or pass in a Mac-style path.
Secondly, even if you were to use 'POSIX path of', your path specification is invalid anyway - you haven't passed in a POSIX path you've passed in a file URL, which is different. A POSIX path of that file would look like:
filepath: "/Users/jschaafsma/Desktop/Verstuurfilmpje"
So rewrite this line and you should be set.
