I use an FMP ScriptMaker Script, called upon BY an AppleScript.

The trick is to get the two to coordinate. Therefore, there is a  
field in the FMP datafile that the SM script sets to a certain value  
when it is finished bringing in the image and the AS script checks to  
see if things are finished and it can proceed to the next image. The  
AS script also resets that field before calling the SM script again.

The pratfall....and FMP is FULL of em....is that you need to 'teach'  
the SM script where to find the image. Otherwise, the poor thing gets  
confused. [Note: One of the MANY reasons I'm moving away from FMP.]

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Chuck
