simple array will not hide MC's on stage

[sandman99]

I have three MC's on stage with instance name mc1, mc2, and mc3. Why would this not hide them:

code:

---

var members:Array = new Array("mc1", "mc2", "mc3");



for (var i = 0; i<members.length; i++) {

		members[i].visible = false

}

I did a search online and someone had the problem. The person recommended for them to do the above and they said it worked. Although I don't know why mine won't.
