Swift dismiss modal view on tableView select (best practices for control flow)

Question

I am working on a Swift application that needs to set the application scope from a tableView -- the user will select a list item which will then set an ID which controls the data loaded in other views. I am currently opening the tableView as a modal but I am not sure what is the best practice for closing the modal from within the setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) function call of a custom tableViewCell subclass (or even if dismissing the modal from this function is the best practice). I was considering passing a reference of the parent view that loaded the modal and then using dismissViewControllerAnimate but that is not working.

Edit : my original post seemed to be unclear so I will try to clearly ask my questions:

1.) I need dismiss the modal view and the only function I have come across so far is dismissViewControllerAnimate -- is this the function I should be using or are there others for others uses?

2.) If dismissViewControllerAnimate is the correct function, should I be calling it from within the setSelected function of the tableViewCell?

3.) If I should call from within setSelected , should I pass a reference of the ViewController to the tableViewCell so that it can call dismissViewControllerAnimate from setSelected ?

/Edit

Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated!

我的建议是处理表格视图控制器中的didSelectRowAtIndexPath方法，并在注意到选择了哪个单元格后从那里调用dismissViewControllerAnimated。
