Missing Member: xfa.[layout]

Question

Hello People:
I'm having major trouble finding (xfa.layout) object.  I get no value returned for pageCount(); It doesn't appear at all.
The only location I founded was under xfa.form.form1.layout, but pageCount() is not a member.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I need to make this function more generic.
function hidePages()
console.println(xfa.host.numPages);            <--prints OK.
var num = parseInt(xfa.host.numPages);  <-- Does not work.
//var num = 39;                                          <-- Works ok, hiddes all pages
console.println(num);                                  <-- prints OK
var i;
for (i = 1; i<=num; i++)
    console.println("Page"+i + " of  "+ num);  <--Shows sequence ok.
       xfa.resolveNode("Page"+i).presence = "hidden";
The code works great only if I hard code the number of pages, else the pages remain visible. What gives?
I'm looking for alternatives, like pageCount()...or is there some cleanup script I'm missing?
Any responses and comments are welcomed.

ok,s o you are getting -1 on form initialize becuase the pages have not yet been initialized.
how many pages are you trying to hide?
if you put
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount();
var num = Page1.PageCount.rawValue
in the initialize event of the "PageCount" object i've put on the form for you, it should give you the count.
i think i'm just confused what pages you are trying to hide.......all of them? just the last few?
