  • 0

Is it possible to call the instance method of an object from the selector? Is the below possible? It gives me compilation error that “:” is missing or something:

timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
                                         target:self
                                       selector:@selector(([self.person dance]))
                                       userInfo:nil
                                        repeats:YES];

    Change target to self.person and use the dance selector:

    timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
                                         target:self.person
                                       selector:@selector(dance)
                                       userInfo:nil
                                        repeats:YES];
