Radio Buttons to control visible of an object on another page?

[defaultcpuc8c6igj0q]

hello, I have a muli page layout that I'm exporting to an interactive pdf. I have radio buttons spaning two pages.  I want a radio button to control the visibility of an text box on a separate page. Is there any work around for this?? it seems that a radio button Actions are limited to the page they live on.

thanks!

First question: when refering to "text box" do you mean static text, or a text field?

A text field's visibility on a different page can be controlled with a javascript applied to a radio group on another page. This example is applied to each of the radio buttons.

var a = this.getField("Field1");
var b = this.getField("Field2");

if(event.target.value == "Choice1") {
a.display = display.hidden;
b.display = display.hidden;
}

else if(event.target.value == "Choice2") {
a.display = display.visible;
b.display = display.visible;
}

it looks like i can accomplish this by editing the pdf in Acrobat Pro after exporting it from InDesign.  When editing the radio buttons there the show/hide states are available for the entire document.

So the function im looking for is possible, but this would be wayyyy simplier if this could be accomphiosh in InDesign.
