Applescript to launch file from current folder?

Question

How does one open a file in the same folder as the AppleScript code? Something along these lines?

tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    open "file.avi"
end tell

(which doesn't work). Thanks!

Answer 1

tell application "Finder"
    open file "somefile.txt" of folder of (file (path to me))
end tell

(only works once you've saved the script - otherwise "path to me" goes to the script editor)
