Any thoughts?
Why do you have x and why do you want idle to be called every 0.5 seconds, but only test if the application is running every 2.5 seconds?
How about simply:
tell application "TextEdit" to activate
repeat while application "TextEdit" is running delay 2.5 say "working" end repeat
If you save that as an application, it will automatically quit once it exits the repeat loop, so there's no need to explicitly "tell current application to quit".
