new to actionscript question

[jrbl]

I'm trying to learn actionscripting on my own and I am just wondering what does the "i" mean. I see it all over the place such as: for(i=0;i<myArray.length;i++){

Is this a standard or do people use it just as math teachers use "x" and "y"

just wondering?

Hi,

yup, "i" is generally a standard for a counter (increment)

Yes ... it is a variable, can be replaced with anything.
But usually use i (increment)

for (i=0; i<=4; i++) {
for (j=0; j<=4; j++) {
// action
}
}

Actionscript is similar to javascript.
