Hide a page at run time

Question

Hello,
I'm new to LifeCycle Designer. I'm developing a form which is structured as follows-
Body page 1 -> Place: on Master Page 1, After : Continue Filling parent
Body Page 2 -> Place: on Master Page 2, After : Continue Filling parent
For a certain condition I don't want Body Page 1 to be displayed at all. But still the Body Page 2 should be on Master Page 2 (and should be the 1st page to be displayed).
I tried following in the form:ready event of Body page 1 (formcalc @ client) -
if (coverpage_type eq "without_coverpage")
then
$.presence = "hidden"
endif
But it shows up the 1st page as blank page (does not hide it completely).
Can you please suggest what should I do to make this happen? Please send me the script code snippet if possible.
Any help would be appreciated as I've already wasted 2 days trying to find a solution :-(.
Thanks,
Vimukta

An external page break can be triggered by using the Edit button in the Pagination Tab of the Object palette.
        Click on the Edit button, press the PLUS symbol to add the script.
    Below that select the Break radio button either before or after depending on the requirement and then in TO: select the “Top of Next Page”. If you want to display header and footer of the table in the next page s also select the Trailer and Leader sub forms.

or
To trigger External Page Break:
   Depending on some condition, if you want to trigger a Page break, add the below script to the table subform where the page break has to be trigger. If the hierarchy is as below, then add the below code on the table subform.
           Table
                Table_Header
                 Table_Data
    Var   recnt  =   $.data.all.length
     For  I  =  0  upto  (  recnt   -  1  )   step 1 do
     If   (  Condition )  then
          $.data<i>.break.after  =  “pageArea”
          $.data<i>.break.startNew  =  “1”
     endif
    endfor
    if you are getting an empty page at the end, add the below script to the table subform.
$.data[recnt-1].break.after =  “”
$.data[recnt-1].break.startNew  =  “0”
          This will suppress the blank page, which is generating because of external page break coding.
