<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=958512716-14102008><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2>fw.pageCount in a script on the first page does the trick. I've been using onInit and onOpenPage (I keep referring to it as onPageOpen...) in the Entry Frame of the framework, should I have onInit in the Main Entry Frame of the Interface? Except for the first page problem (solved by using a separate script on that page), it seems that using fw.pageCount with the onOpenPage event is all I need, and I can delete the onInit script.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'">This getting me closer, but I still have one issue: the onPageOpen event doesn't seem to fire on the first page of the framework, although it works correctly on subsequent pages, or when navigating back to the first page. I'm using the standard framework controls, rather than having navigation buttons part of the same interaction as the onInit and onOpenPage events, so the flow goes right into the first page of the framework. And if I add a script icon with the setText() method, it still miscounts the number of pages. Any ideas?</SPAN></P>
