ok what i do is load in accessors from a file then loop through a dictionary and call them the accessors access values in a subclass i wrote ie

[subclass accessor];

the accessors are just strings in the dictionary when i try

[subclass [dict objectForKey:@"accessor"]];

to references the accessor it just says parse error before "objectForKey"

i figure i'm doing this wrong but i can't figure out how to make it work?



you're trying to use an object as a method selector.

If the accessors are strings, you'd need to make a selector from the string (there is a function for that). But even then you'll need to do something other than what you're doing. You'll need to use a method call to make the subclass object perform the selector.
