How to tell Applescript to open a file in the same directory as the script

Question

tell application "SpriteBuilder" to activate
tell application "SpriteBuilder"
    open "portrait.spritebuilder"
end tell

The portrait.spritebuilder directory is in the same directory as the script. I think I need an absolute path, but I can't seem to get it working. I've tried adapting this suggestion, but no luck. Any ideas?

The linked answer should work. Did you put it in a Finder block? Like this:

tell application "Finder"
    set myFolder to container of (path to me) as text
end tell

tell application "SpriteBuilder"
    activate
    open myFolder & "portrait.spritebuilder"
end tell
