Post Apple Scripts in nested action groups problem/question
I have an action group called "5 second Delay" which has a single action that executes an embedded applescript of "delay 5".

When I call the action Group "5 second Delay" as the 4th instruction of another action group, when I execute that "outer" action group, the log shows "5 Second Delay" is the first instruction executed instead of the 4th. If I do the 5 second delay in the outer action group without nesting it in another action group, the delay logs as the 4th step, and I see a pause in the log executing instructions.

Is it supposed to do this? It seems the nested invocation of an action group gets done before the other actions.

Since the applescript is embedded and only one line, I can replace the call to the "5 second Delay" action group by a direct execute [embedded] applescript -- but then if I want to change the amount of delay, I have to do it in several places instead of just one.

This is with Beta 8.

Thanks.
