F9 not working properly

I have the next button hidden.One variable called TimesViewed, initial value set to 0, value retained between sessions. 3 text boxes (A, B, C), all set to initially invisible.Action Group called HideText -- that hides all text boxes.3 buttons, labeled A, B, and C. Each button is set with the same set of actions.On Click Run group HideTextOn Click, show respective text box (A, B, or C)On Click, modVariable TimesViewed. Add 1 to VAR. Delay of .03 secondsOn Click, Show Next button, only if TimesViewed is greater than or equal to 3. Delay of 0.5 seconds.If I don't have the delays built in, the actions fire too quickly.If I hit F8 and publish the entire title to HTML, and then navigate to the page in question, it works. But if I use F9, it doesn't.
