How do I crop/straighten, apply settings, then save and close with actions?

I have two actions right now. The first crops and straightens. I'm working on scrapbook pages I have scanned. A file might have 4-6 individual images in it. Crop and Straighten works pretty good. I can run that on a folder by going to File->Automate->Batch and it works good too.

 

Once that is done I can run the second action I have to apply some changes, then save the file. I run that the same way, File->Automate->Batch, but this time I run it on open files.

 

So, everything is working fine, but now I have a lot of images I need to process and Photoshop tells me that there are too many files open before it can finish the first action.

 

How can I join these two actions? I want to process a folder, so that it would open the file, crop and straighten, apply some changes to the newly created files, save those open files, close them, then move onto the next file in the folder.

 

I feel like this should be simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it.

I found a script that allowed me to do pretty much everything I wanted - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/790392/how-to-automate-photoshop. I added a call to my action and now it's working great.
