loading images out of a folder

[Timbits]

Hey all, I’m trying to make a image load after a user picks a folder.

the idea is, the user would pick a folder and the app would then load the first image in that folder. For right now i’m just trying to get the app to load item 2 in a folder. Folder just has images in it. Understand what i’m trying to do?

This is the code i have right now.

on clicked theObject
if name of theObject is “pick_folder” then
set source_folder to choose folder
tell application “Finder” to set theList to every item of folder source_folder
set current_image to (item 2 of theList)
set image of image view “imageview” of window “main” to load image current_image
end if
end clicked

and the error i get

Is there a better way to do what i’m trying to do?

Finder got an error: can’t make some data into the expected type. (-1700)

Thanks Jacques, I totally forgot about alias and posix paths. been too long since i last tryed scripting. Thanks for adding in the file type. that I was one of the first things i had to add after i get it to load a image.
