Launch Screen in Landscape Mode

Hi Dale,

Dale, i have the same problem for one of my app published 3 weeks ago, in landscape mode

You have to set in the xml of your app:

<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>

and

<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>

Your app will start in landscape mode but if you don't anything else, Apple will reject your app because it simply doesn't support screen 180° rotation.

So after your app has started, just reput autoOrients to true, and use the orientation changed event.

protected function initMyapp(event:Event):void

{

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

stage.autoOrients = true;

if(stage.orientation == StageOrientation.DEFAULT || stage.orientation == StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN)

{

stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);

}

stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING,onOrientationChanging );

}

protected function onOrientationChanging(event:StageOrientationEvent):void

{

//keep portrait mode

if(event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.DEFAULT || event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN ) event.preventDefault();

OR

//Keep landscape mode:

if(event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.ROTATED_LEFT || event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT ) event.preventDefault();

}

In the publishing settings there is an aspect ratio drop down menu. Try setting that to Portrait.
