How to save a jpg and give it a label automatically

Question

Hi guys. I've found myself regularly repeating a set of actions and I was wondering if there was some way of automating them using CS4. The scenario is that I use Bridge as my main photo organisation app. I rate my shots from 1-5 stars and then tend to double click on ones to edit them in PS. After saving the edited shot as a jpg with "_edited" added to the filename, I apply a label which is called 'Enhanced' and then apply a 'Original' label to the original jpg. This lets me immediately filter of my edited/enhanced shots in Bridge and locate the originals if I need them. It also makes the edited files stand out when looked at in a file view of Explorer etc .
Is there an action or script I can create so that when I've finished editing a jpg it will take the original file name, add "_edited", save it as quality 10, baseline optimised, then apply the 'Optimised' label to the new file and exit the original jpg without saving but with applying the 'Original" label?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I have modified the function slightly, could you try this version please?
#target photoshop
if (!BridgeTalk.isRunning("bridge")) BridgeTalk.launch("bridge");
if(documents.length >0){
var originalFile = activeDocument.fullName.fsName;
var saveFile = activeDocument.fullName.fsName.slice(0,-4)+"_edited.jpg";
SaveJPEG(saveFile, 10);
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
labelPic(originalFile,"Original");
labelPic(saveFile,"Enhanced");
function labelPic(file,tag) {
   var bt = new BridgeTalk;
   bt.target = "bridge";
   var myScript = "";
   myScript += "var file = new Thumbnail(\'"+file+"\');";
   myScript += "var md = file.synchronousMetadata;";
   myScript += "md.namespace = \"http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/\";";
   myScript +="md.Label = \'"+ tag +"\';";
   bt.body = myScript;
   bt.send();
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //1-12
activeDocument.saveAs(new File(saveFile), jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
