[flexcoders] Multi Select List - Issue

[rviswanathan]

Hi 

I am facing an issue with a list that allows multi select. I am using Flex
2.0. 

1. On load of the application, I set the first item in the list as selected.
(selectedIndex = 0). At this point, I am able to use "Shift" key to multi
select. 
2. I have a button, on click of this button, I change my selected items so
as to select the first 2 items (selectedIndices = 0 & 1). When this happens,
if I try to do a shift+select, it does not work (until I make another
selection either with a click or Ctrl+Click).

Source code below. Is the anchor bookmark getting lost?  I see it getting
set only as part of the selectedIndex method. How can I get around this
problem? 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationComplete="selectDefault(event);" >
        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                        private function selectDefault(e:Event) : void {
                                lst.selectedIndex = 0;
                        }
                        
                        private function selectFirstTwo(e:Event) : void {
                                var arr:Array = [0,1];
                                lst.selectedIndices = arr;
                        }
                ]]>
        </mx:Script>

    <mx:List id="lst" allowMultipleSelection="true" width="100">
        <mx:dataProvider>
            <mx:String>AK</mx:String>
            <mx:String>AL</mx:String>
            <mx:String>AR</mx:String>
            <mx:String>AB</mx:String>
            <mx:String>AC</mx:String>
            <mx:String>AD</mx:String>
        </mx:dataProvider>
    </mx:List>
    <mx:Button label="Select First 2 Elements!"
click="selectFirstTwo(event)"/>
</mx:Application> 


Thanks
Ram
