Setting selectedIndex to equal text box value

Need index to be set to same value as text box.

[catcherintherye51]

Is there a way to set the selectedIndex in a comboBox to equal the contents of a dynamic text box?

For example, if the comboBox values are:
Red
Green
Blue
White

and the data in the dynamic textbox is "Blue" the comboBox selectedIndex label should be "Blue".

I'm guessing there needs to be a script that cycles through the contents of the comboBox and compares it to whatever is in the dynamic text box. If there's a match, the selectedIndex is set to whatever the index is for the matching label. Make sense?

Any help on this script would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks!

selected index only shows the index position of the item in the list.

ie
RED
GREEN
BLUE
BLACK

blue will be selected index 2 (0,1,2,3)

if you want the name use SelectedItem not selectedIndex.

Thanks... (a little selectedIndex and selectedItem confusion.) Is there a code that will perform a loop that compares the content of the dynamic text box with the contents of the comboBox, then sets the comboBox accordingly?
