Dynamic behaviour on master pages not working

Up until recently I had been able to hide/show subforms on a master page at runtime, but for some reason, it now no longer works. This is strange given that I am still able to change the layout of the content pages at runtime but not the master pages which the content pages make use of.

I have made sure that my form has been saved as an Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML form.

Do you have any ideas around why this might be happening?

In general, modifying the master page at runtime is a bad idea. Master pages are supposed to be stable. You are supposed to create as many masters as you need.

OK, well in that case I will need to swap my master pages at runtime rather than modifying the master page directly.

I will need to swap out master pages during preprint/postprint events. Do you have any suggestions for changing the content area at runtime (i.e. Javascript functions that can be called)?

Thanks in advance.
