i is just a string of that property name, not the property itself.

\_global.bob = 10;

for (i in \_global) trace(i); // traces the string “bob”

trying to delete “bob” wouldnt do it 😉 You can delete globals otherwise without the \_global reference

\_global.bob = 10;  
delete bob;  
trace(bob); // traces undefined

but the for…in iteration returns strings 🙂

ooh… so basically _i_ would be merely a reference if I’m getting it right… thanks for the ‘clarification’! 🙂
