Hmmm

not sure what you wana do

if you wana select an item in the List from which you know the position(index)

pictList.selectedIndex=1

if you wana select the index whit a specific data in it
then you need to check all items if mach select it

Try the following:
addy_btn.onRelease=function(){
for(var i:Number=0; i<pictList.length; i++){
pictList.selectedIndex=i;
if(pictList.selectedItem.data=="addy"){
break;
}
}
}
