I would like to use the flistbox command “set selected index”, to “my current index +1.” I am performing this command to select a song automaticly after a song stops in a music player.

The code would look somthing like this:
mybox.setselectedindex (current index + 1)
Hope this helps Explain my question better.

This is what I have so far:
screen.onSoundComplete = function() {
newitem = getScrollPosition;
getScrollPosition = getScrollPosition+1;
combobox.setselectedindex(newitem);
};
For some reasone the command does not happen the 1st time a sound completes. I have to select a sound a 2nd time before the code works.
Another problem is if I select a new item in my listbox with the arrow keys the “newitem = getscrollposition” seems to yield the wrong vaule.
