Air 2.6 Screen orientation

Question

I'm trying to get this Air 2.6 feature to work again.

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/891/cpsid_89107.html

Changes in AIR 2.6

Screen orientation changes in 2.6 namespace

Based on the release doc, it says "The swf is required to be compiled with the flag "-target-player=11" to make use of supportedOrientations API."

How do I "compile with the flag" ???

I'm using Flash CS5 to publish .swf

I got the adt cmd line working.

My AS3 script:

addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, onOrientationChange);

function onOrientationChange(event:StageOrientationEvent):void {

trace("onOrientationChange:"+event.afterOrientation);

...and process result.

}

Thanks,

Alfred

StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE and StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING are not part of the supportedOrientations API. If you want to prevent Portrait, you can do that like this:

stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, orientationChanging);

private function orientationChanging(e:StageOrientationEvent) {

if (e.afterOrientation == "default" || e.afterOrientation == "upsideDown") {

e.preventDefault();

}

That trick will work with AIR 2.0 as well as AIR 2.6, and without requiring player 11.

Right click the Project->Properties->Flex Library Compiler.In the Additional compiler arguments, you need to append -target-player=11.Build the preject again.I hope it solves your problem.
