I need to send a FSSpec to an application in an apple event. Is there a way to get this?

An FSSpec is a file specification, I believe. Since no one else has answered, I’ll try, though I may be wrong.
If an app needs an FSSpec, and you’ve got an alias or a path, try to do the following:
set someAlias to alias “Macintosh HD:somefile”
set someFileSpec to someAlias as file specification
If that doesn’t work, try putting it inside a tell app “Finder” block

Try this link, it’s an osax to create FSSpec. Is it what you’re looking for?
