My ApplsScript looks like this:

set aScriptPath to "HD:Applications:Adobe InDesign CS3:Scripts:Scripts Panel:MyJScript.jsx"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
	do script alias aScriptPath language javascript
end tell

but when I run it, it errors saying:
Adobe InDesign CS3 got an error: Expected: ;

However if I run MyJScript.jsx from the ExtendScript Toolkit it will work. Any idea whay AppleScript doesn't like the script?
