To TinyURL, how do I get the filename?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Simple script to be run as an action with Quicksilver. I select a file, it uploads via Transmit, and copies a TinyURL to the clipboard.

But I can’t get the filename from the selected file:

on open these_items
	
	-- bring Transmit to the foreground
	
	activate application "Transmit"
	
	tell application "Transmit"
		
		-- create new window to upload files with
		
		make new document at before front document
		
		tell document 1 -- send commands to the frontmost document window 
			
			tell session 1 -- sends commands to the first session in the window
				
				-- connects to the favorite with the name specified
				
				if (connect to favorite with name ".Public") then
					
					-- upload all items dropped onto the droplet
					
					try
						repeat with the_item in these_items
							
							-- ignoring result from upload
							upload item the_item
							say "Uploaded!"
							
							--- I need help here:
							
							set itemsFilename to file_name of item the_item
							say itemsFilename
							
							--- This does not work. I need this for the tinyURL part below
							
						end repeat
						
					end try
					
				else
					say "Sorry, could not connect to favorite."
				end if
				
				-- once the upload has finished, disconnect
				
				disconnect
				
				say "Disconnected!"
				
				set the clipboard to (do shell script "curl --url \"http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://homepage.mac.com/matthew/.public/" & itemsFilename & "\"")
				
				say "TinyURL copied to clipboard."
				
			end tell
			
		end tell
		
	end tell
	
end open

Everything else works except the part commented otherwise.

Help appreciated!
