Hi! Can me help anyone, please, with that question:
I would like to write a script that set a new ICal event with open file alarm. It could be very easy, I supose, but I am new in AppleScript, so I don’t know how is the code writing for this script. Thanks in advance!
Alex

Modified from my iCalMail script…

tell application "iCal"
	launch
	set cal to "Home"
	set thisCalendar to first calendar whose title is cal
	
	set p_path to "/path/to/item"
	
	set eventeer to (make new event at end of event of thisCalendar)
	set summary of eventeer to "Title of event"
	set description of eventeer to ("desctiption of event")
	tell eventeer
		make new open file alarm at beginning of open file alarms with properties ¬
			{trigger interval:0, filepath:p_path}
		set the start date to ((current date) + (60 * 5))
	end tell
	activate
	show eventeer
	
end tell

I never lerned from a book. You can learn everything you need on this forum, http://www.apple.com/applescript/developers/, the /Library/Scripts folder, and http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/applescript/resources.html. Mostly I learned from examples.
