"display dialog" time out?


  • Subject: "display dialog" time out?

I have an interesting problem. I have a script that is timing out on this line (which happens to be the first line):
display dialog "text" giving up after 10

The reason it is timing out is because the screen saver is on when the script launches (script is saved as an application).

Does anyone have any ideas how to get this to not timeout?

I tried:

with timeout of 10 seconds
tell me
display dialog "text" giving up after 10
end tell
end timeout

But I don't think I am doing this right. Or maybe it just isn't working right?
