Question

smooth orientation change on iOS. Is it possible???

Hi,

Has anyone achieved a smooth portrait-to-landscape (or vice versa) transition on iOS for device orientation change?

I have my orientation change set up and working, but it's a pretty choppy transition, primarily a pause before rotation. (very simple app, no animation running)

Maybe this isn't possible due to being a non-native app? I would love to hear of anyone's experience dealing with this. Please share! 🙂

Use as many spark components that support orientation change as possible. It will get smoother and smoother.

Can't use spark in Flash. (I actually had to Google that to even find out what it was)

Any Flash-based options?

Thanks.

Flex is free. It's free, like jQuery is a free amazing JavaScript framework. You can use the latest Flex SDK in Flash or Flash Builder. Just google 'AIR 3.3 sdk' and you'll get a download to the latest.

The latest AIR framework supports all the latest Spark components but you will need to read the documentation on them. Things like checkboxes, lists and split views are components that support pretty smooth transition. It will only get smoother.
