macOS Drag File selection in Apple Script?

[VideoBeagle]

(I've failed at figuring the right terms to google)

In most modern Mac open/select file dialogs, you can drag a file/folder into the open dialog window and the open dialog window will focus on that location.

I've found in my scripts, that doesn't happen. I just get an error beep when I try to click in another window while the open dialog is open.

This is the syntax I'm using in my scripts:

set mifold to choose folder

Is there another way to do this, so you can do the drag to select thing?

I seem to be able to do this. Drag a file/folder from a Finder window into the open dialog window and the open dialog window will focus on that file/location.
You can always try/use something else to create dialog boxes like Pashua etc.

Note : Tested on Mavericks 10.9.4.
