How to pause while AS runs?

[TLJames]

I am trying to have FM run an applescript then wait for the script to finish before continuing. I tried using "Pause Script" but then it's the problem of waiting to long or to short depending on server traffic, memory, blah, blah...I also tried running the script using "Send Event" and run the script as an application (only because of the Wait for Event feature) . It lets me choose the script/app in the finder but it does not carry into the "Send Event" Options.

I know there has to be a way to do this but I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have the last step in script 1 be the applescript step.

Last step in your applescript then is to call script 2.

That's a good idea but I'm not sure if it will work (or I don't know how to do it yet).

A little more info: My FM script is populating a form. The FM script clears old data, goes out and touches our main database program(using Applescript), translates that info into usable data, then fills out the form.

Can I go from starting an FM script, use that to start an Applescript, then use that to start a new FM script without leaving the FM page I'm on?

It took a little working (notice the amateur rating!) but I ended up doing exactly what you said and it works great.

Thank you for your help.
