Which tells you that the FileMaker Script Editor window doesn't implement
the Accessibility API very well.

In most cases, if UI Browser can't do it, GUI Scripting won't be able to do
it. Among other things, UI Browser serves as a lightning rod for whether or
not an application is GUI Scriptable. It's a way of cutting to the chase
quickly, eliminating questions about whether your scripting syntax is the
problem without having to spend a lot of time trying alternative syntax.
