I have a mac program that uses an AS do script to run a JavaScript. However, although the AS starts ID it never gets to trigger the JavaScript which is there to build a page. My AS do script is like this:

on run {aScriptPath}
	tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
		do script alias aScriptPath language javascript
	end tell
end run

Why does the JScript not run?
