Disable "Choose Folder" Dialog?

Question

I'm pretty new to scripting in illustrator and am having immense difficulties trying to disable the "Choose Folder" dialog. The script cycles through saving the image, then its layers out in different formats.  To set the image up properly, I have to run sections of the script through an action set.  Even though I've specified a path for each "save" and "export," Illustrator will prompt the "Choose Folder" dialog each time it comes to a script.  Can I specify the directory in such a way to remove user interaction (files will always export to fixed folder)?

Mark said AppleScript Studio, but I suspect he means AppleScriptObjC -- Studio was deprecated in OS X 10.6. What you're after is known as a save panel with an accessory view.
Actually, as long as you don't expect the checkbox to change anything while the dialog is showing you can get what you want without too much pain using ASObjC Runner:
script openPlus
  -- make a checkbox
          set theCheckbox to current application's NSButton's alloc()'s initWithFrame_({{0, 8}, {200, 16}})
  theCheckbox's setButtonType_(current application's NSSwitchButton)
          theCheckbox's setTitle_("Include sub folders")
  -- make a view and add the checkbox to it
          set theView to current application's NSView's alloc()'s initWithFrame_({{0, 0}, {200, 32}})
  theView's |addSubview_|(theCheckbox)
  -- make an open panel
          set thePanel to current application's NSOpenPanel's makeOpenAt_types_(path to home folder, {""})
          thePanel's setMessage_("Folder to process")
  thePanel's setCanChooseDirectories_(true)
  thePanel's setCanChooseFiles_(false)
  -- add the view to the panel
  thePanel's setAccessoryView_(theView)
  -- show and return results
          tell thePanel to set theResult to showModal()
          return {theResult, theCheckbox's state()}
end script
tell application id "au.com.myriad-com.ASObjC-Runner" -- ASObjC Runner.app
          set {thePath, checkBoxState} to run the script {openPlus} with response
end tell
if thePath is not missing value then -- missing value means Cancel
  -- do your stuff
end if
