Combobox questions re: font and default values (newbie)

[kellstee]

I have a very simple Flash tool that was written over a year ago (not by me). I want to make two simple changes to it, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

When the tool loads, I have 5 input fields (one text field and 4 comboboxes). How do I set default values for these fields? For example, I want the 5th drop-down item selected for all 4 comboboxes when the flash tool is loaded.

I think I found a piece of code that does this but I just have no idea where to put the code:
font_cb.selectedindex = 5;

Also, the font for the combobox choices and text field is in Arial and I want it to be in Georgia. How would I do this?

Thanks in advance!

If you have your ComboBox instance "font_cb" on the main timeline, place this in the main timeline:
[tt]
font_cb.selectedIndex = 4;
font_cb.setStyle("fontFamily", "Georgia");
[/tt]
(5th item's index is 4.)
