AS3 iOS prevent "animated" orientation change

I am working in flash CS5.5 on an app for iOS. I want to get the ipad/iphone to stop animating the orientationChange and just change it directly, is this possible?

I thought this was a solution but it didnt help AS3 - iOS force landscape mode only?.

have you tried the SO answer: Disable orienation change rotation animation ?

the code from that answer that goes in the view-controller that is the home for your flash CS5.5 or air 3.5 is:

- (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation {
    [UIView setAnimationsEnabled:YES];
}


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    [UIView setAnimationsEnabled:NO];

    return TRUE;  /* Your original orientation booleans, in case you prevent one of the orientations */
}

that code makes use of native iOS UIViewController functions that can be overridden. you would have to have a native iOS objective C class that overrides UIViewController, and then you could insert the code above. calls are made when the device is rotated to these as part of view controller life cycle.

If you try setting Stage.autoOrients = false;, the flash.events.StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE will never fire. That's helpful for disabling orientation changes altogether, but not for your issue. While I haven't tried it myself, you may be able to listen to the event:

flash.events.StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING

You may be able to call event.preventDefault() in that listener to stop the actual rotation from occuring. Then you can manually set it yourself:

Stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);
