call method "dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:"

I've tried to piece together from the archives how to save a Document in plist xml format, calling the cocoa methods. The document has about 120 fields, not just the 3 in the sample code I include below.
I've show in "--" where the thing is breaking, and other questions.
Any help with syntax?
Thanks,
Joe


on write to file theObject path name pathName of type ofType

log pathName
--/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.NSDocument_469_92348689_1/ plistSaveTest.dmx
--Why isn't this a 'real' file path? I saved in location Home directory.

set theData to {}

tell window of theObject

set end of theData to ((contents of text field "Key1") as string)
-- if I don't coerce the contents to list the it adds it as a list within a list: {{"data1"},...}
set end of theData to "Key1"
set end of theData to ((contents of text field "Key2") as string)
set end of theData to "Key2"

set end of theData to ((contents of combo box "Key3") as string)
set end of theData to "Key3"
log theData
--{"Data1", "Key1", "Data2", "Key2", "Data3", "Key3"}


end tell

-- It's breaking here, during the "dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:" call.
-- Doesn't the AS object list transfer to a Cocoa object Array?
-- I'm sure I don't have the syntax correct.
set theObject to call method "dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:" of class "NSDictionary" with parameter theData
log "Just called method dictionaryWithObjectsandKeys:"
set theList to {pathName, true}

log "Just set theList to {pathName, true}"

set testBoolean to call method "writeToFile:" of object theObject with parameters theList

return true
end write to file
