You're missing the point.
Except for getting the path, you can control all of this with standard
FileMaker scripts, and you do NOT need to show the file import dialog.
In the import script, just choose the "Perform without Dialog" option.
You run your applescript, put the result in a global field.
Your FileMaker script takes this value, makes it into a FileMaker compatible
value, and stores it in a value you might call $path.
You set your import script is set to use the value $path and you set it to
perform without dialog.
You're on the wrong list; you should be learning to use FileMaker native
commands until they don't do what you need. That is not the case for what
you are doing.
In FileMaker documentation read up on variables and their use for file
import/export.
