Several possible issues here.

1.  Try putting it in parenthesis:
put (the short name of me) into fld "selectedImageName"

2.  Try using the target:
put (the short name of the target) into fld "selectedImageName"

3.  Get the name first:
get the short name of img id 1234
get the short name of img id (whatever code required to get the id of 
the image)
put it into fld "selectedImageName"

4. Where is the image stored?  You may need more info:
put (the short name of img "happyFace.jpg" of stack someStack) into 
fld "selectedImageName"

I had to add the stack info in a recent project.  Even though the 
stack the images are stored in was "in use", just using the image 
name or id was not enough.  Even though there were no images with 
that name or number in any other stack, I still had to specify the 
stack.

Good luck!
