Why does my Script finish before Toast Ejects my Disk?

Question

Hi (Noobie),
I'm attempting to write an Applescript for burning DVD's in Toast.
My problem is that the Applescript finishes before the DVD is burned (ejected).
This is what I have:
tell application "Toast 10 Titanium"
open thefile
set toast_project to current disc
add to toast_project items filesto_add1
delay 3
add to toast_project items filesto_add2
delay 3
write toast_project with asynchronous completion without asking
delay 3
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
try
tell application "Toast 10 Titanium" to quit without saving
end try
end tell
end tell
activate
display dialog "Finshed successfully"
. . . . . so how can I make sure my script waits for toast to finish (ie: Disk is ejected) before showing me the dialog window?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Well, I don't know… On your computer, is “disk 2” the disk you are burning or do you have some other disks connected? To get more information about your disks, you might type:
*tell application "Finder" to return properties of disks*
in the Script Editor window.
Or maybe you should just have used "current disc" (as before) inside the tell block.
Or maybe you should refer to the disk by its name instead of its index.
Or maybe you might try the following version of your script, where the new lines are in bold:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
*tell application "Finder" to set theCurrentDisk to disk 2* -- or any other index
tell application "Toast 10 Titanium"
open thefile
set toast_project to current disc
add to toast_project items filesto_add1
delay 3
add to toast_project items filesto_add2
delay 3
write toast_project with asynchronous completion without asking
delay 3
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
try
tell application "Toast 10 Titanium" to quit without saving
end try
end tell
end tell
*repeat while theCurrentDisk exists* -- just wait
*end repeat*
activate
display dialog "Finished successfully"
--END OF SCRIPT
