Access Property List Files

Question

Hi,
I created a new property list in one of my applications and named it zap.plist. I added the property item "isFirtsLaunched" and set it's "String" to "no". I am wanting the application to do something on the first run only. My code currently looks like this:
on launched theApplication
tell (path for resource "zap" extension "plist")
if list item "isFirstLaunched" = no then
display dialog "NO"
else
display alert "YES"
end if
end tell
end launched
When I run the application, it returns this error (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn81/secrect_2008/Warning.png)
I NEED to release the application before the 21st of July, can anyone tell me how to access the information? I have been searching for hours with Google and on the ADC.

Hummm.
I am trying
on launched theApplication
(*do shell script "defaults read path/to/file isFirstLaunched"*)
display dialog quoted form of POSIX path of (path to "zap.plist")
end launched
as well as
on launched theApplication
(*do shell script "defaults read path/to/file isFirstLaunched"*)
display dialog quoted form of POSIX path of "zap" of (path to me)
end launched
(The {(*do shell script "defaults read path/to/file isFirstLaunched"*)} is a comment because I am not using it right now).
I am absolutely stuck. I feel really bad about this...
