Why did form lose its actions?

I had a two-page form I was creating, it contained actions for buttons and for showing/hiding some objects. In LiveCycle Designer I saved under a new name and in "Adobe XML Form" format, thinking I would keep the most functionality that way. I started adding pages and objects. At some point I noticed most of the actions I had created were gone, there were only 2 actions listed in Action Builder.

I went back to the original form file (a PDF created in LiveCycle Design), and the actions are still there.

Questions: Did I lose the actions by adding pages or objects? Was it because of saving in a different format than "Adobe Dynamic XML form" (which is a PDF file format, confusingly enough)? Or some other thing about actions I'm missing?

I'm using Acrobat Pro X and Adobe LiveCycle Designer, on Windows XP.

If I did lose the actions by adding or rearraging pages or renaming objects, can I somehow get them into the new doc by saving part of the old one as a "fragment"?
