instance_exists() value issues

Trying to check whether or not objects exist and it's not reading the values correctly.

Code:

ship=(choose("rnd","values..."))
i=(string("obj_sm")+string(ship))

if !instance_exists(i) 
{//stuff}

instance_exists(obj_smrnd) says the object doesn't exist.
BUT instance_exists(i) or instance_exists("obj_sm")+string(ship))
says it does exist. :gerr:

//the object was really non-existant
Any ideas why this is or how to remedy it?
---

Edit:nvm got it to work, seems the instance_exists() was treating the object like a string.
