Not laughing here. I have to look up the API every time.

This is from the example in the folder examples/component/flash 8/

code:

---

onClipEvent(construct){

 width = 190;

 height = 80;

 boxStyle = 1; // boxStyle 0 = combo, 1 = listbox

 c = [0x828b73,0xe9e2da,0xe9e2da,0x9e9f6d,0xaab19a,0xf8f  5f0,0x342d2a,0x544d4a,0xf8f5f0];

}



onClipEvent(load){

 items = new Array();

 items.push({label:'item 1',value:' value 1',selected:true});

 items.push({label:'item 2',value:2});

 items.push({label:'item 3',value:3,selected:true});

 items.push({label:'item 4',value:'value 4'});

 items.push({label:'item 5',value:5});



 setItems(items,true,new TextFormat('Arial',12));

 onChange = function(){

  var v  = getValues();

  _root.txt1.text = 'You chose ' + v.toString(); // when multiple selection is off, selected value is passed by default.

 }

}

Note that 1 and 3 are already selected

Another way is to use the setSelected function.
