When using the Run NSApplescript module, you should wrap your code in "on alfred_script(q)" and end with "end alfred_script". This is how you pass the selected files into the script, using the variable q. Obviously, that variable name could be changed to be whatever you want. If you chose a Run Script module instead and set the languages to /usr/bin/osascript then you wouldn't have to wrap the code. Then the files would be passed via the {query} variable.
