This method has been deprecated. Here's how you should do it (assuming there's only one Template in your file):

var t = this.templates;

var T = t[0];

var XO = T.spawn(this.numPages, true, false);

for (var i=0; i<=99; i++) T.spawn(this.numPages, true, false, XO);

And then you can remove the field like this:

this.removeField("SpawnPages");
