Thanks guys for the help. A couple clarifying issues...

So the one issue that rules out Dustin's option is that I don't necessarily want the split between the 2 variables to be the center. I'd like the holistic text (both variables together) to be centered.

So I thought Ian's route would work, but it seems like fitwidth need to have absolute widths set on the children text elements. Since I'm not sure on the width, I'm not sure how to handle that.

Any further thoughts?
That was the issue, I just wasn't supering out enough... Strange, well it's all good now. Thanks for your help!
Yeah, my dilemma is we launch a subwire and allow the user to page through that one, when they hit the end of the pager I was hoping I could close the subwire and go back to main.wire. Doesn't look like that will work. So we'll figure out another route.

Thanks man!
Wait, I labeled those backwards... The first is the main.wire and second is subwire1.wire...

Man, apparently it's amateur hour right now...
Dang, sorry about that...

Here's the code in subwire1.wire:
 

<action name="swapTab">
<assign property="object:MENUTABIMG.source" value="graphics/menuTab_lowpro.png"/>
</action>


And here's the code from main.wire:


<action name="launch-posts">
<!-- <play action="swapTab" superwire="yes" target="../.." /> -->
<load file="_wire" wirename="_wirename" target="POSTVIEW" />
<alpha value="1" time=".5" target="POSTVIEW" />
</action>
Hmm, ok... so let's talk about moving between subwire1.wire to main.wire...

Here's my code:

When I call the action, it's performing (confirmed by other events occurring within the same action) but it's saying the action "swapTab" is not found.

Here's my code in main.wire:
I wanted to circle back and post back to the community on this one. You can do a text shadow using the panel tags. Here's the shadow I added to my text:
shadowradius="2" shadowopacity=".7" shadowxoffset="2" shadowyoffset="2"
I'm not quite sure I follow. Can you clarify what each of the '../' sections are meant to represent?

Right now I am having trouble just getting it to find an action from subwire1.wire to main.wire, even though I can do a superwire from subwire2.wire to subwire1.wire. Not quite sure why it won't let me superwire into the main.wire at all...
We got this resolved. I had the precursor on the app bundle ID. It should have just been com.rarewire.dewsly1 instead I was trying to do JKDBRYW.com.rarewire.dewsly1
Ok, cool. Since page1 is the first thing that shows in my app, should I be calling this action in some way? Is there a way to call in onload?
