As Stef said, you can use #perform:with: or #perform:with:with: or #perform:with:with:with: or.....
#perform: selector withArguments: argArray

I've been playing with smalltalk casually now, for months and really like it. But I"m clearly still a newb.
I've reached the point in a small project where I want to set the values on my object based on the values that are in a dictionary. The dictionary is filled with a set of keys that represent attributes on the object. So for a simple example, imagine I have an object which has accessors for 'title' and 'title:'.
I want to iterate across the set of keys, being certain that each key is a valid msg to send to myOBject. The send the object the message with the value from the dictionary.
Now, I understand that I can do:
myObject perform: 'title' asSymbol.
and use that as a way to message myObject with the selector 'title'
As I understand it this is equivalent to getting the value with:
myObject title
What I've looked for an been unable to find is how to set the value.
What is the equivalent to:
myOBject title: 'A new title'.
using perform?
Thank you for your help.
Tony
