Adobe AIR Development

[VansFannel]

I'm developing an ActionScript 3.0 app for PlayBook.

I've found this Blackberry Playbook Simulator Tips and I was testing orientation changes.

I thought I'm only supporting Landscape orientation, but when I've changed to portrait, I've seen that my app changes its orientation.

How can I avoid this? I want a full screen app with landscape orientation only.

I have this on -app.xml

<autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
<aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
<fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
<visible>true</visible>

Do you have these tages placed inside the correct parent tags?

Now, with simulator 0.9.4 I can't chage my app to Portrait orientation. But, if I change to Portrait orientation with Browser, and I turn back to my app I get the same problem.

We think that's a simulator bug, though obviously no one can say for sure until we have hardware.

If you minimize your app and rotate, the simulator does the rotation and your app basically gets dragged along for the ride in some fashion.

For now, assume that if you can't rotate your app while it's filling the screen, all is well.
