Howcum?

This borks. Remove all the fancy UI, replace text_returned with "MSIE" in the set creator line and it's fine...

display dialog "What would you like to set the selected files creator to?" default answer "DmWr" buttons {"OK", "Cancel"} default button 1
copy the result as list to {text_returned, button_pressed}

tell application "Finder"
if button_pressed is "OK" then
set these_items to the selection

repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to (item i of these_items) as alias
set this_info to info for this_item
--set myPath to (this_item as string)
--set targetFile to myPath
set (creator type of file this_item) to text_returned
end repeat
end if
end tell
