// * Dependencies * 

// this function requires the following snippets:

// JavaScript/readable_MM_functions/findObj

//

// Accepts a variable number of arguments, in triplets as follows:

// arg 1: simple name of a layer object, such as "Layer1"

// arg 2: ignored (for backward compatibility)

// arg 3: 'hide' or 'show'

// repeat...

//

// Example: showHideLayers(Layer1,'','show',Layer2,'','hide');
