Prepopulating select form helper and setting default selected value using Cake 1.2

Hey guys,

I am looking for some help on prepopulating a select form helper and
setting a default selected value using Cake1.2. I have seen solutions
but they are all in Cake1.1 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is what I have so far:

Controller code:
--------------------------------------------------------------
function edit($id = null)
{
//ensure user has logged in
$this->checkSession();

$this->ProjectUpdate->id = $id;

if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->ProjectUpdate->read();

// **** Using this to populate the select form helper *******
$projectNames = $this->ProjectUpdate->Project->find('list', array
('fields' => 'Project.name', 'order' => 'Project.name ASC'));
$this->set('projectNames', $projectNames);
}
else {
if ($this->ProjectUpdate->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Your project has been updated.');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index/1'));
}
}
}

View code
---------------------------------------------------

echo $form->select('Project.id', $projectNames, null, null, false);

Thanks guys I appreciate the assistance!

Chris
