AFP files in Tiger

Question

I used to create AFP files, simply double click on them and avoid several steps in network connectivity via the finder.
Has anybody made AFP files in Tiger that work this way?
Thanks

Delay is a good workaround. You also could ping until the internet connection is active, for example. Another error I have often encoutered is when a disk is already mounted (same one as the one you read, "Disk some object wasn't found"), so you can check to see if it needs mounting, thus:
property ipaddr : "216.239.37.99" -- for pingin' Apple
--CHECK TO SEE IF INTERNET CONNECTION IS ACTIVE
repeat 10 times -- edit this to suit your needs
try
set connection_active to (do shell script " ping -c 1 " & ipaddr)
if connection_active contains "0% packet loss" then
exit repeat
end if
end try
end repeat
set vol_list to list disks
--CHECK TO SEE IF A DISK IS NOT ALREADY MOUNTED AND MOUNT IT IF NOT
if vol_list does not contain "volume1" then
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/volume1"
end if
if vol_list does not contain "volume2" then
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/volume2"
end if
if vol_list does not contain "volume3" then
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/volume3"
end if
if vol_list does not contain "volume4" then
mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/volume4"
end if
