 For this I would use Automator and just pass the Finder selection to an AppleScript written into the Automator workflow. This would make it into a contextual menu item (so you can right click on the item or items, select the workflow from the Automator contextual menu, and your AppleScript is executed on the selected items). Works a treat.
