Fl.controls.List

Hello.
I have a question about List component.
I want to ask if there is a possibility to select a List’s item (make it selectedItem) without a Click event? I want to make the item selected on a different type of event event.
I checked Adobe’s documentation about fl.controls.List but i could find only scrollToIndex() method which scrolls the list to a specified index. That’s OK but i don’t want only to scroll to this index but to select its list Item.
