Sorry. It seems I left out a line...

on open (itemList)
set theFldr to item 1 of itemList
tell application "Finder"
set itemCnt to count items of itemList
set itemList to items of theFldr -- this is the line I left out
repeat with anItem in itemList
-- do whatever you want to do with the items, such as "set name"
end repeat
end tell
end open
