You are able to dictate supported orientations prior to deploying your app via the build.settings file. You are also able to poll for the current screen orientation via getters (system.orientation).
It would be great to get a corresponding setter - one that complements “system.orientation”, to dictate orientation programmatically rather than from user input. Currently, in order to change the orientation of items on screen programmatically, you must rotate all assets on screen using event.delta.
Benefactors for this feature would be developers implementing substantial asset creation that emcompasses both landscape and portrait orientations (i.e. random level generators).
