Creating an alias on a mounted volume

I am trying to use applescript to create an alias of a folder on a mounted volume. The script I have started with is:

tell application "Finder"
	make new alias to folder "test" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell

How do I adapt this to use a mounted volume?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ddinisco,

The following code works on my Mac:


tell application "Finder"
	make new alias to folder "Subfolder" of folder "Parentfolder" of disk "Volume name"
end tell

Have a pretty good weekend!

Additionally you can determine where the alias will be placed like so. ( from topic http://bbs.macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=3926 )


tell application "Finder"
make new alias at folder "YOUR DISC NAME:Users:YOUR USER NAME:desktop:" to file "YOUR DISC NAME:Applications:Chess"
end tell

Replace the “YOUR…” stuff with your info.
