Drag and Drop Script

This will seem like a strange question, but how do I write an applescript to open a drag and dropped file with a particular application. I know you can do this with an alias, but I have a dock I built with facespan that is used like a launcher. It runs applescripts that just open programs on my drive. I would love to add drag and drop support, and since the buttons on the dock have no attachment to the actual application like an alias does, I need to add some drag and drop script…

Any help would be appreciated !

Here’s an example for a drag and drop app that opens a text file in simpletext. Save the script as app and drag a text file to its icon.

on open fileList -- This is necessary for drop-ability
   tell application "SimpleText"
      open fileList
      activate
   end tell
end open
