Ice Cream sandwich + Stage Text = no go?

Something on these lines:

import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;

import flash.system.Capabilities;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.display.StageOrientation;

private var startOrientation:String = stage.orientation;

if (Capabilities.cpuArchitecture == "ARM") {

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, handleActivate, false, 0, true);

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, handleDeactivate, false, 0, true);

}

private function handleActivate(event:Event):void {

stage.setOrientation(startOrientation);

}

private function handleDeactivate(event:Event):void {

}

The idea is to set the orientation to what it was when the app started, and trust that Flash managed to start it in the right orientation. You could wait for a resize event before setting that value, if you run into trouble.

The reason you can't use:

stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);

is because that orientation is landscape on Android phones and some tablets, but portrait on other tablets.
