I have created an attributes using an install script for a custom module. One attribute is a drop-down which only has two options as 'yes','no'. The other attribute is a text field. I need to set default values through this script. I tied the following. But didn't work.

$th =  new Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Setup();  
$th->addAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, 'credit', array(
            'group' => 'Prices',
            'type' => 'text',
            'backend' => '',
            'frontend' => '',
            'label' => 'Credit rewards',
            'input' => 'text',
            'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
            'visible' => true,
            'required' => false,
            'user_defined' => true,
            'default' => 'kkkkkkkk', // this is default value. but is's not setting
            'searchable' => false,
            'filterable' => true,
            'comparable' => false,
            'visible_on_front' => true,
            'visible_in_advanced_search' => true,
            'used_in_product_listing' => true,
            'unique' => false,
            'apply_to' => 'simple',
        ) );

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
