NSMutableDictionary Q's

hey all, I'm writing a small app in my further studies of cocoa and I'm
having a problem using NSMutableDictionary. I'm curious if I can use a
member of an object to be added to the dictionary as the key. here's a
small example, SomeDataClass has 2 members both NSString *'s.

SomeDataClass *ptemp;
SomeDataClass temp;

[temp setName: @"foo"];
[temp setDesc: @"some object"];
[SomeMutableDictionary setObject: temp forKey: [temp name]];
ptemp = [SomeMutableDictionary objectForKey: @"foo"];

now when I do this and then try to access [ptemp desc] there's nothing
there. [ptemp name] is valid, but nothing else. any ideas here? just to
clear things up, in SomeDataClass the "set" methods retain the new
NSString passed to them.

Sincerely,
