How to create an array that selects from arrays?

Hi there,

Got the following code:

| Array1 Array2 Array3 |
Array1 := #(1 2 3).
Array2 := #(4 5 6).

Array3 := (0 to: 2) collect: [ :i | !Selection of: #({i of: Array1}{i of: Array2})].

But of course it doesn't work.. So my question is: How can I create an array where each element is a selection of array elements? 

Thanks!

| Array1 Array2 Array3 |
Array1 := #(1 2 3).
Array2 := #(4 5 6).

Array3 := 0 to: 2 collect: [ :i | !Selection of: (Array with: (i of: Array1) with: (i of: Array2))].

Expressions in curly braces are evaluated before the rest of the Smalltalk code is evaluated.

Accessing full contents of Two Dimensional arrays
Is it possible to select the entire coontents of Array1 Or Array2 to  with a !hotVariable to populate a parameter field?
