Here is an example of how to use an AppleScript applet as a dispatch table of handlers with FileMaker Pro.  This is a workaround for people who want to send an Apple event from FileMaker to run an AppleScript handler.

• Before running this script, open the file called "Filemaker Database".

This script grabs the value from the "WhichHandler" field in the current record in the front-most database file and runs a handler based on that value.  After the applet has been run, it stays open and waits for the 'oapp' event from FileMaker, making subsequent handler calls much quicker.

For more information on sub-routines and AppleScript refer to the AppleScript Language Guide or any of the third party books listed in the "Sources of Information" read me file.
