You want to use the command line utility osacompile. The following will create a blank applescript on your desktop called "test.scptd"

set applescriptCode to ""
set applescriptPath to (path to desktop as text) & "test.scptd"

do shell script "echo " & applescriptCode & " | osacompile -o " & quoted form of POSIX path of applescriptPath
