Applescript and interface won't run together

Question

I am creating a Cocoa Applescript application, and I have an applescript to make speech recognition server listen for commands to use as input.  I also have a small window that should appear at the top.  When I run the application, the speech recognition window appears and works like it is supposed to.  Sometimes the window I created doesn't show up until I quit the applescript part of the program, or it is gray and unusable until I quit the applescript part.  I want them to run side-by-side.  I am aiming for the speech recognition window appearing like normal, and the other window appearing at the same time (or close to the same time) and both working.

Answer 1

whoops.  Sorry.  that is the wrong code.  The code I just posted was some startup code.  It's also in this script. This is the right code. Its a bit long.
try
          set startvol to do shell script "cat ~/alphaassistantdata/startvol.txt "
  set volume output volume startvol
end try

          set isonline to "false"
end try
set sysinfo to system info
set osver to system version of sysinfo
set ver to "1.2.1"
set shouldwearing to "0"

          set webver to do shell script "curl http://alphateam2.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/2/1/12215941/version.txt"
          tell application "Finder"
                    if ver is greater than webver then
                    else
                              set shouldupdate to the button returned of (display dialog "You are running an outdated version of Alpha Assistant. Version " & webver & " is available.  Would you like to download the update? " buttons {"Yes", "No"})
                              if shouldupdate is "Yes" then
                                        tell application "Finder" to set the clipboard to "http://alphateam2.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/2/1/12215941/alpha_assistant.zip"
