I think* the problem might be with this line:

do script FileMaker script "AS_Schedule" of document
"HeronFlowmanager.fp5"

The next lines of the script are executed immediately after this
event gets sent (when running it in FileMaker). Perhaps, if you ended
your script on this line, added a final line to the FileMaker script
"AS_Schedule" - a do script line that calls a third FileMaker script
which contains the rest of your first script.

Did you try your script as an applet?
