Hi Kutty,
maxFileName is what you looking for (#step_1):

$.name = maxFileName -- but if the scene not saved (Untitled) maxFileName return empty string

. So, if the scene file name is "test.max", your selected object will be with the same name. But if you want only the name of the scene (without ".max") - #step_2:

$.name = trimRight $.name ".max" -- now your object name is "test"

Or combine code in 1 step only:

$.name = trimRight maxFileName ".max"
