Flow control from File Maker Pro

Hi everybody,
I run into a problem when using scripting in File Maker and AppleScript
together. Here is an example:

Let's say, I have two FMP scripts: "Print" and "Control".

"Print" script has a single step Print[] - it prints something.
"Control" has a single step:

Perform AppleScript [

display dialog "Before calling Print script"
tell application "File Maker Pro"
do script "Print"
end tell
display dialog "After calling Print scrip"
]


That's what I experience: I see "Before calling Print script" message, press
OK, little pause, then I read "After calling Print script" message, press
OK, and only after that I get dialog boxes for printing.

How can I make sure that the "Print" script has completed all its tasks
before the following steps in the "Control" script are executed?

Thank you, Andrei
