Why are my radio buttons not renaming in pages spawned from a hidden template?

Question

Hi Everyone,
I am new to PDF forms, and have never before tried to use JavaScripts. However, I have been able to learn a lot and I have followed many threads and have almost accomplished what I want, but have hit a block. I don't understand the JavaScript well enough to locate my problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
SYSTEM SPECS: Adobe Acrobat X Pro  Mac OS 10.8.5
WHAT I WANT: To create a multi-page (100 pages) form for grading student assignments. Each page must have the same fields, but as each page belongs to a new student, it needs to have different values in the fields on different pages. Each page has 4 questions to score, with 4 score possibilities for each question (0, 1, 2, 3 points), and so only one score should be able to be selected per question.
WHAT I HAVE DONE, following the directions on this thread (Re: Multiple pages form) ):
1) Created a form with a field for student name and 4 sets of radio buttons (Labeled Questions 1-4, with score choices 0-3).
2) Placed a button at the bottom of the page that will spawn a new page and rename fields.
3) Defined this page as a template.
4) Spawned a page.
5) Made the template "hidden."
THE PROBLEM: Steps 1-4 above work perfectly--as long as the template (named "Form") is visible, when I click the button, a new page generates and the student name field renames the fields on Page 2 to "P2.Form.Student ID #" and the radio buttons rename to "P2.Form.Question 1" etc. Each time I press the button, it renames everything appropriately.
However, if I hide the template, then when I click the button on page 1, the fields on Page 2 are renamed to "P1.Form.StudentID ##1." AND THE RADIO BUTTONS DO NOT RENAME. They get the name "P1.Form.Question 1" etc. So the student name field did rename in a way that allows me to enter a new name on each page, but it isn't actually reflecting that I am on page 2, and as for the radio buttons, at that point, I cannot enter different scores on different pages because they are all part of the same radio button grouping.
If I use check boxes, they rename similarly to the student ID field, but I don't want to use check boxes because I want to return one possible score value for each question for tabulating the data. I don't want to leave the template visible because when I distribute this form to other graders, they may enter values into the template page without realizing it, and then when the spawn forms they will have wrong data already entered.
Here is the script that I have set as the button's Mouse Up script:
// Specify the name of the template
var template_name = "Form";
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate(template_name);
// Add a new page based on the template
if (t !== null) {
    t.spawn({
    nPage: numPages,      // Add the new page to end of document
    bOverlay: false,      // Create a new page, not an overlay
    bRename: true         // Rename the fields
} else {
   app.alert("The template named \'" + template_name + " does not exist in this document.", 1);
Thanks for your help

Hi again GKaiseril,
If you have the time, would you be able to tell me how to do that? I tried just changing the page number of the template page to zero, but I get the error "Please enter a starting value of at least 1."  I definitely noticed that all of the discussions about similar subject do all say to somehow put the first page of the form before the template and then hide the template, but I don't think that I know how to do that. I read your response on this discussion "Re: Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)" before I ever started this discussion, but have to admit that I can't figure out how to follow your advice "When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template."
Thanks
