Scripting from a USB Volume

Hi


Firstly, forgive me if this is in the wrong place.


I have created a simple apple script (my vary first one) in which I wanted the script, when run, to open a random image from a folder that had images within it. I did it using this code:


tell application "Finder"


(* get a random image file from a desktop folder *)

set randomImage to some file of folder "Pictures"


openrandomImage


end tell


That worked well and good when the folder containing the images was on the desktop. However, the folder I really want to use is on a USB stick. How can I tell the script that the folder I want it to run with is on the USB Stick?


I know I could easily copy the folder from the stick to the desktop, but I'd rather keep the folder on the stick.


Vary many thanks.

Mac OS X (10.7.4), 8GB RAM
