How to tell Finder to select/reveal multiple files in AppleScript

Question

Using the following code:

tell application "Finder" to reveal every item of theFiles

Works when theFiles contains a single file, but when it contains multiple files, I get:

error "Finder got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." number -10000

What am I doing wrong? I simply want to highlight a list of files in Finder.

Answer 1

This seems to work:

tell application "Finder" to reveal theFiles

An example I was looking at shows "... reveal every item of ...". I'm not sure if they're in error or something changed with AS.

Answer 2

this seems to work fine

  tell application "Finder"
    set theFiles to entire contents of folder of (choose folder)
    reveal every item of theFiles
  end tell
