How can my program tell whether a dropped item is a folder or a file?

on open FolderList --expecting two folders
try
if class of FolderList is not list then ¬
error "Class of FolderList is " & ¬
class of FolderList & "."

if length of FolderList is not two then ¬
error "Length of FolderList is " & ¬
length of FolderList & "."

set FolderA to item 1 of FolderList
set FolderB to item 2 of FolderList

error "class of FolderA=" & class of FolderA

--> Gets <<class bmrk>> for either folders or files

CompareFolders(FolderA, FolderB)

on error errmsg number errn
display dialog "Error1: " & errmsg & " (" & errn & ")"
end try
end open

tell application "Finder"
if class of item FolderA is not folder then return
if class of item FolderB is not folder then return
end tell
