Spawned page calculation

I am spawning a page and need to have a simple calculation script (sum of multiple fields) in a "Total" field. This is what I have so far:
var amount = "P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".templatename.fieldparentname";
var sum = 0;
for (var i=0; i < 27; i++) { var total = amount +"." + i; sum += Number(this.getField(total).value); } event.value = sum;

It works on the template without the precursory "P" + (this.numPages - 1) + ".templatename., but will not work on the spawned page.

I think the fastest way to get an answer is to contact Thom Parker. He can run the problem down much faster than I. It would take me a lot more time to solve the problem than Thom.
