"run script" error from open window

On 3/22 Entity Paul Berkowitz spoke thus:

OK so I am saying:
tell application "Finder"
activate
run script "Apple:Desktop Folder:Called Script"
end tell

which runs compiled script:
(simply opens a folder)

tell application "Finder"
activate
open folder "Rachel:Chunks:Browsers:" as alias
end tell

but when run from the script window I get error:
Finder got an error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out. (-1712)
Funny thing the first "Finder" is in red (in Script Debugger)

The "Called Script" runs by itself, so what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for these very elementary questions.
