Rename File from Filemaker Pro

I have successfully created a formula that automatically generates a
filename I want for each of the images in my database. Unfortunately, since
FMP has no command for renaming a file, I need to pass the new filename out
of Filemaker and into AppleScript to actually do the renaming.

So, it would be something like this:

1. pass the variable inside field x to the Finder.
2. tell the finder to rename the selected file with the new name.

I'm a little lost as to the syntax....
