In general I've had best luck by asking simply for "selection" which will return a list of items. Sometimes it seems you can apply property settings directly to the list, and sometimes you have to enumerate them. Does this do something like what you're ultimately looking for?

tell application "Finder"
	set myLabelIndex to 3
	set myItems to selection
	repeat with thisItem in myItems
		set label index of thisItem to myLabelIndex
	end repeat
end tell

Thanks to both of you. Here is the finished product. I activate it with an iKey shortcut combo. Works great.


(* set_Label_Index - 10/23/05 - Change label colors - with help from and Daniel Jalkut <email@hidden>Michelle Steiner <email@hidden>
*)
tell application "Finder"
set theDefaultList to {"none"}
set theColorList to {"none", "orange", "red", "yellow", "blue", "purple", "green", "gray"} (* 0 = none , 1 = orange, 2 = red, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue, 5 = purple, 6 = green, 7 = gray *)


set theChoice to (choose from list theColorList default items theDefaultList with prompt "Select desired index color.")

-- get color selected
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in theColorList
if item i of theColorList is in theChoice then set myLabelIndex to i - 1
end repeat


if the selection is not {} then
repeat with eachItem in (the selection as list)
set the label index of eachItem to myLabelIndex
end repeat
else
set folder1 to window 1
tell application "Finder" to set label index of every file of folder1 to myLabelIndex
tell application "Finder" to set label index of every folder of folder1 to myLabelIndex
end if
end tell
