[Javascript] associative arrays question

At least, I *think* they're called associative arrays.
I created an associative array in the following manner:
theirScore = new Array(3);
theirScore["Bob"] = 0;
theirScore["Fred"] = 0;
theirScore["Sue"] = 0;
This works fine, in the sense that I can fool around with those numeric
values like so (where I pass it 'Sue' as an arg):
function boostScore(who) {
theirScore[who]++;
}
...and so on. The problem I'm running into is at the end, when I want to
loop through the theirScore array, I can't seem to get normal indexing to
work. theirScore["Sue"] returns the expected incremented value, but
theirScore[2] returns 'undefined'.
How do you loop through an associative array?
