Reduce timeout while trying to connect to FMP server

  • Subject: Reduce timeout while trying to connect to FMP server

Hello, I wrote a small applescript to simplify the login procedure to a FileMaker Pro server.
I want to catch the error if the server is unavailable. I want to wait only 10 seconds before the error dialog pops up (and not the default 60 seconds of the Applescript timeout). So I thought it was a good idea to try something like this. Unfortunately changing the value of the timeout has no effect. Can anyone help how to fix this?

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
try
with timeout of 10 seconds -- has no effect, still have to wait 60 seconds
getURL loginURL -- non existing url just to test
end timeout
on error
display dialog "FileMaker Pro Server not found."
return
end try
end tell

Thanks in advance,
Bert.
