Initiating a script from a created menu

ok,

 

i admit novice javascript, although have experience developing using xcode objc , lots of interapplication scripting applescript.

 

however, missing basic concepts trying simple things script adobe bridge.

 

for instance, have followed tutorials , have had no problem running , customizing versions of snpaddmenuitem.jsx , snpcreatethumbnailinspector.jsx.

 

now, let's put snpaddmenuitem.jsx in startup scripts folder bridge cs6. (works fine , creates menu on launch.)

 

however, instead of displaying alert, in demo:

 

alertcommand.onselect = function (m)

    {

        var txt = m.text;

        // display result ui, ui sample

        alert("'" + txt + "' chosen menu item");

        // run javascript

        //snpcreatethumbinspectorpanel.main();

    }

 

 

 

i want run  snpcreatethumbnailinspector.jsx.

 

do i:

1. call script referencing it's location on disk
2. include creatthumbnailinspector code function in addmenuitem script , direct function.onselect to run function
3. or there other method totally missing?

 

i have scoured documentation , of sample scripts , can't seem figure out seemingly simple concept.
