Hi Guys, happy new year to you all!

I have a combobox added to the stage in the flash IDE and it is populated via Actionscript 2 from an external XML file. The trouble is I want to automatically select a label in the combobox rather than showing the first label which is the current default.

I populate my combobox like this:

combobox1.addItem({data:"data1", label:"lable1"});
combobox1.addItem({data:"data2", label:"lable2"});

Now I have a combobox with 2 labels, label1 and label2. I want label2 to display as the default instead of label1, now I understand I could do:

combobox1.selectedIndex = 1;

but I actually want to loop through the combobox labels and match if label2 = label2 then select that index, so is there any way I can read the labels / data of a combobox? I have tried combobox1.data and combobox1.labels, but it just returns undefined?

Thanks in advance
SJM
