Landscape Camera Roll

Is it possible, when allowing the user to select an image from the camera roll, to show the camera roll in a landscape orientation? If so, how would I go about this? If not, is it possible to write a custom interface for the camera roll?

Thanks, Scott F.

You could try setting the orientation to landscape before calling bthe camera roll browse method.

The only way to create a custom interface is to create a native extension the implements your own camera roll feature -- so not a custom interface, really a replacement. This is possible starting in AIR 3.

Thanks for the quick response. The app is actually set to landscape on the view before it opens the camera roll and does not auto-orient. The strange thing is - the bar with carrier/time/battery actually stays along the left side of the screen while the camera roll comes up from the bottom of the phone and stays in portrait orientation.

I don't see anyway to control this from AIR. The CameraRoll function opens a separate application, which has its own orientation settings. (It is strange that the OS notification bar didn't rotate. When I tried it (on a Xoom), it did orient with the gallery.
