Apparently,

tempBtn _ self buttonLabel: tempStr
                    action: 'doSomething:' , (t5).

does not work.

Just look at DialogBoxMorph >> withButtonsForYes:no:okay:cancel:

buttonRow addMorphBack: (self buttonLabel: 'Yes' localized action: #yes)

That doesn't really seem to help me find a way to fire a function with a parameter when a button is clicked. 

Let me give more detailed code:

initialize
    | t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 |
    super initialize.
    self title: 'Latest Projects on Mod Share'.
    t1 _ self buttonLabel: 'Close' action: #delete.
    t2 _ (HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://modshare.tk/api/getallprojectsinfo/insanity') contents.
    (t2 findString: 'banned')
        > 0
        ifTrue: 
            [DialogBoxMorph inform: 'You are banned from Mod Share and can''t browse it.' title: 'Failed'.
            ^ self].
    t4 _ t2 findTokens: '|'.
    t4 do: 
        [:t7 | 
        t5 _ t7 findTokens: ':'.
        t6 _ self buttonLabel: (t5 at: 2)
                    action: 'self downloadProject:' , (t5 at: 1).
        t6 extent: 200 @ 35.
        mainColumn addMorph: t6].
    buttonRow addMorph: t1

I need the action to fire downloadProject with the parameter shown (element 1 of t5).

That's not how selectors work.

EDIT: Also, name your instance variables with descriptive names. It's bad practice to use decompiled-code-style ones.

Hmm... that's a problem. Do you know any way around that?
They used to have descriptive names, but Squeak changed them on me.
