using Filemaker Pro 4.1, I find that lodging an AppleScript within a
ScriptMaker script works well EXCEPT that I can't seem to stipulate
any timeout parameters.
does anyone know the trick to doing this?
e.g.,
tell AppleScript
with timeout of 500 seconds
tell application "foo"
foo bar
end tell
end timeout
end tell
I've never tried to use a timeout in an embedded script (in FMP), so
I don't know if there's an AppleScript fix or not. If not, you may
need to break the AppleScript into segments and use FMP's
"Pause/Resume Script" script step.
