You, um, put the results into a variable? Also, like I said in my first post, if you want JS-compatible path, you need to use "posix path of". And finally, I forced it to return as text rather than as a file alias, which is what you were returning intially.

This script works:

var chs="tell application \"finder\"\r";  
chs+="activate\r" 
chs+="set myPath to (choose file with prompt \"Choose\")\r";  
chs+="set myPath to POSIX path of myPath as text\r" 
chs+="return myPath\r" 
chs+="end tell";  
var myResults = app.doScript(chs,ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);  
alert( myResults );
