tell application "Finder" to set frontProc to name of first process
whose frontmost is true
--rest of script
tell application frontProc to activate
But why are you activating the Finder in the first place? That's usually
unnecessary and pointless jumping around, usually derived from somebody
recording himself doing something manually in the Finder. There are certain
situations where that may not be the case, but there's usually no reason to
activate the Finder and you can probably just remove the line which told the
Finder to activate.
