If the user swipes left the first displayed text field swipes to the left off screen and the second field pages in to view and then if the user swipes left again the first field (now on the right side off screen) pages in. The same if the user swipes to the right. Using two fields one offscreen having it's text updated while the one onscreen is displayed. I am using Animation Engine 4 and aeMoveTo with "in" effect although "overshoot" looks good as well. Bounce is a little much for this type of swiping.

Having both on the same card requires a lot more coding to handle the layout/rearranging but requires less coding when making changes to the projects functionality - you just have to change the functionality code for controls just once for either orientation.
