[Newbies] Parse an argument for a symbol that requires one

[Marcus Strehlow]

Hi guys,

if you have a SimpleButtonMorph, you can decide what it should do and  
it's pretty easy. You say

self target: aTarget
actionSelector:  #someAction.

And it works. But what if not only an action should be executed, what  
if the actionSelector gets a symbol that requires an argument? In my  
case I need to change a variable first before further proceeding you  
see. So I am wondering if it is possible to do something like this:

self target: aTarget
actionSelector: #someAction: argumentRequired

I have tried many ways, including constructing the action first in  
temporary variables and then just using that temp variable as  
actionSelector string. All my efforts have been in vain. There is a  
way to solve this for me, but it would be very tedious to do and would  
increase the code volume... and that's not what I want.

If you have any ideas on this, let me know.


Thanks,
Marcus
