Need help Converting JavaScript to AppleScript

Questions & Suggestions

Anyone know how to convert this Java script to Apple Script?
I have been beating my head on this one...

function run(mydate){

var d = new Date();
var n = d.getFullYear();
var num = (n);

if (num > 3999999) { alert('Number is too big!'); return false; }
if (num < 1) { alert('Number is too small!'); return false; }

var result = '',
    ref = ['M','CM','D','CD','C','XC','L','XL','X','IX','V','IV','I'],
    xis = [1000,900,500,400,100,90,50,40,10,9,5,4,1];

if (num <= 3999999 && num >= 4000) {
    num += ''; // need to convert to string for .substring()
    result = '<label style="text-decoration: overline;">'+convert(num.substring(0,num.length-3))+'</label>';
    num = num.substring(num.length-3);
}

for (x = 0; x < ref.length; x++){
    while(num >= xis[x]){
        result += ref[x];
        num -= xis[x];
    }
}
return result;

}

Much appreciated..
