I think he means in a dialog object

And yes you can, just use the dialog.load function. Same as it's used in the "initialize" function

You can't use Acrobat JavaScript to change the name of a field. However, you can collect up all the properties of a field, delete it, create a new field with the name you want and apply the properties of the old field to the new field.

Are you sure about that? The name property of a static_text component can be changed in the initialize event?

I just tried it and it didn't work...
