i have the following 2 functions

```auto

function peopleOffBus():Void {
    
    for (var i:Number = 0; i<21; i++) {
        this["p"+i]._visible = false;
        this["p"+i].id = i;
    }
}

function peopleOnBus():Void {
    trace("yo");
    for (var i:Number = 0; i<21; i++) {
        this["p"+i]._visible = true;
        this["p"+i].id = i;
    }
}

```

when i called the first function it works… peopleOffBus(); but then when i call the other function to make p visible true, the function peopleOnBus(); doesn’t work… it is calling the function but somehow my array is not working or something… not sure… any ideas?
