change current pickerWheel selection? Is this possible programmatically after instantiation?

How does one change the selection of the pickerWheel programmatically?  

Context:  

  • Have a pickerWheel setup in composer in the “scene:create( event )”

  • When the scene gets reused in the “scene:show( event )” need a way to set the current selection

Hopefully this is possible somehow else it would appear the widget doesn’t support the composer concept no?
