How to create an application that opens when you drag a folder onto it?

I can make an app for the Mac that opens when the user drags & drops a file onto its icon using the following Apple Event handler:
on appleEvent pClass, pEventID, pSender
if pClass is "aevt" then
request appleEvent data
put it into tFileName
if pEventID is "odoc" then
-- open file event - app is being used as a droplet:
processFile tFileName
end if
end if
pass appleEvent
end appleEvent
However, I can't find the equivalent event ID for when the user drags & drops a folder instead of a file onto an app icon! Can anyone tell me the event ID or alternative mechanism for handling folders?
Thanks.
