Orientation Change Detection Xoom and Flex Hero

Hello:

I am stuck, I can't seem to get my Xoom to report a screen orientation change with the app I'm developing with Flash Builder Burrito.

I have an extended view with the following code in the constructor:

this.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, change);

And then change function looks like this:

protected function change(event:StageOrientationEvent):void {

     trace("change");

}

I'm not seeing this in the console when the screen rotates. I've seen many examples which use a "stage" object to listen to the event. I have tried to obtain this from the top most MXML file and still have not had any luck.

Why is this event not tiggering?

I know this is old, but I just found a solution in my case, and figured i'd share.

Instead of listening for "stageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE", listen for "Event.RESIZE".

Worked like freakin' pixie dust for me.

Hope this helps someone!

There are two things to do.

1) Check your application descriptor. You may have set your application to not reorient.

<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>

2) You probably should also watch for the Resize event. This is also a great event to listen to for orientation changes.

Hi,

Is your stage rotating when you rotate the device?

Have you tried following.

this.stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, change);

-Thanks
