As previously mentioned, finder window does not have a selection property; no window has a selection property. The Finder itself has the selection property. Additionally, the selection could be in the desktop if the focus is the desktop instead of the window; your code needs to check for that as well. Finally, "as list" is redundant because "selection" returns a list.
So, your code should look something like this:
tell application "Finder" if exists Finder window 1 then set sel to the selection if sel is not {} then if sel is in items of Finder window 1 then set x to selection end if end if end if end tell
This returns a list of Finder Objects in the front window if the selection is in the front window.
