How to make List Component autoselect first item

[fokusz]

I have been searching all over the net for a solution to this problem, however no luck, even on macromedia.livedocs...

I have built a listbox which loads its data from an xml file, once this data is loaded I would like to have the first item in the box autoselect, or highlight.

I would have thoguht this to be possible, but have had no success wither way...Is this possible with Flash MX2004?

Thanks in advance

should be something like:

myListBox.setSelectedItem(0);


or maybe setSelectedIndex(0);

Is there a way to highlight a single cell in a DataGrid through actionscript in the same way that it was done for the List?
