Overview

This code snippet demonstrates how to avoid auto rotation of Flash Lite content on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for Flash Lite 3.x supported from S60 5th Edition onwards. Enclosed in this article you will find a zip file containing all source code used in this article.

Pros and cons

• Pros
  • Disable auto rotation of Flash Lite content
  • Produce content for one unique screen resolution (e.g: 360x640 or 640x360)

• Cons
  • Rotating movieclip objects are really processor intensive
  • Handle all application movieclips inside a main MovieClip

Real usage

• Create a MovieClip and paste all application graphics.
• Copy the MovieClip from the Library and paste on the main timeline.
• Set the instance name for mcBase
• Copy and past the following code inside the actions panel on the first frame of your Fla.

fscommand2("DisableKeypadCompatibilityMode");
fscommand2("FullScreen", "true");
 
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
 
import com.i2tecnologia.base.UIBase;
var base:UIBase = new UIBase(mcBase);

• Create the path structure com/i2tecnologia/base/UIBase.
• Create the UIBase.as actionscript file at the above directory.
• Paste the following code inside the UIBase.as actionscript file.

import com.i2tecnologia.utils.*;
 
class com.i2tecnologia.base.UIBase 
{	
	private var stageSizeListener:Object = new Object();
	private var mainMovie:MovieClip;
 
	public function UIBase(aMain:MovieClip)
	{
		this.mainMovie = aMain;
		this.stageSizeListener.onResize = Delegate.create(this, onAutoOrientation);
 
		Stage.addListener(this.stageSizeListener);
	}
 
	private function onAutoOrientation():Void
	{
		if(Stage.width > Stage.height) 
		{
			this.mainMovie._rotation = -90;
			this.mainMovie._x = -140;
			this.mainMovie._y = 500;
		} else {
			this.mainMovie._rotation = 0;
			this.mainMovie._x = 0;
			this.mainMovie._y = 0;
		}
	}
}

Flash Lite 3.1
