Listbox: Select Item using AS?

[Xenith]

How can I have a Listbox that is dynmically populated start with the first item selected?

I know there has to be a way

I think it would probably have to go or do something with this frame which is where it is populated?


stop();

List.onLoad=function(){
List.setAutoHideScrollBar(true);
p=new Array( p0 , p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, p7, p8, p9, p10, p11, p12, p13, p14, p15, p16, p17, p18, p19, p20);
num = picture;
for(i=0; i<=num-1; i++){
List.addItem(p[i],"image/"+"picture"+i+".jpg");
gotoAndStop("label0");
}
}

Can't you do it with selectedIndex (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00002519.html)?

Yep! Thanks for the reply. I found it this morning. It would be theListBox.setSelectedIndex(indexNum);

For some reason I kept trying to use theListBox.selectedIndex(indexNum);
