I recommend:
tell application "Finder" to set frontProcess to ((displayed name of
(path to frontmost application)) & return)
Because these two fail in some circumstances, such as when launched
from the Script Menu:
--tell application "Finder" to set frontProcess to (frontProcess &
(name of every process whose frontmost is true) & return)
--tell application "System Events" to set frontProcess to (frontProcess
& (name of every process whose frontmost is true))

I have a script that runs in the background, but needs to activate
another background process and then return to whatever was running
before the interruption.
How do I get the name of an active Process?
...
set myProcess to ... --> the name of the process to be interrupted
tell application "RealOne Player" to activate -- got to activate this
for System Events to work
tell application "System Events"
tell process "RealOne Player"
click menu item "Zoom Window" of menu "Window" of menu bar item
"Window" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
tell application myProcess to activate -- return to the process that
was interrupted
...
Thanks
