Help needed to target jsxbin file inside HTML extension panel

Question

HiI am making small steps into putting my scripts into a native HTML Panel using Sublime Text, and the Extension Builder plugin for Sublime Text 2.I have no problems running a built in JS file from within the panel, but when I want to target a compiles jsxbin file, I am having issues targeting it.
function createFile(){
  var parent = (File($.fileName)).parent.parent;

//alert(File($.fileName)); //returns /tmp0000000001
  alert(parent); // returns a single slash

alert("Script to run is " + parent + "scripts/helloWorld.jsxbin"); //returns Script to run is /scripts/helloWorld.jsxbin

try{
  app.doScript(File(parent + "scripts/helloWorld.jsxbin"));
  }
  catch(e){
  alert(e);
  }

}
The last catch above throws this message...Can someone tell me if its even possible to target a script in this way?Cheers

Hey.I have done it by using the $.includePath to get the current path. I dont know if this is the way to do it, but seems to work for me, for now!var myPath = $.includePath;var myAbsolutePath = myPath.split(";")[0].split("/jsx")[0] + "/scripts/";alert(myAbsolutePath);try{app.doScript(File(myAbsolutePath + "/helloWorld.jsxbin"));}catch(e){alert(e);}

	var myPath = $.includePath;
	var myAbsolutePath = myPath.split(";")[0].split("/jsx")[0] + "/scripts/";
	alert(myAbsolutePath);

	try{
		app.doScript(File(myAbsolutePath + "/helloWorld.jsxbin"));
	}
	catch(e){
		alert(e);
	}
