Don't understand timeout

Hi,

This is in Snow Leopard.

Script below, I'm expecting the timeout to stop the action, after 2 seconds, and throw the error "Timeout exceeded" and continue on with the on error.

try
with timeout of 2 seconds
my doGUIScriptingCommands() -- Select all in window
tell application "Finder" to set itemsInWindow to selection
end timeout
error "Timeout exceeded"
on error
beep 3
set itemsInWindow to 65
end try
