Hello, i have a problem with the orientation of iPhone.

I want that some images change the angle when a rotate the iphone, but with this code i don’t have the best result every time.
Some times the images change to the orientation of the iPhone, but some times they don’t rotate at all.

i send a file with the example, because i want the background image to stay on the same spot, and only the images of the buttons to change angle.

Does some else had this problem?

Code: Select all

on orientationChanged
   put mobileDeviceOrientation () into theOrientation
   if theOrientation = "portrait" then
      set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 90
   else if theOrientation = "portrait upside down" then
      set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 270
   else if theOrientation = "landscape left" then
      set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 180
   else if theOrientation = "landscape right" then
      set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 0
   end if
end orientationChanged

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you check whether the orientationChanged message isn't triggered or the images don't rotate properly? If the message isn't triggered, you could try using a recursive handler, which checks the mobiledeviceOrientation function.

Code: Select all

on openCard
  send "check" to me in 0 secs
  pass openCard
end opencard

local lPrevOrientation
on check
   put mobileDeviceOrientation () into theOrientation
   if lPrevOrientation <> theOrientation and there is an image "butao_home_low.png" of this cd then
     // orientation changed
     if theOrientation = "portrait" then
        set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 90
     else if theOrientation = "portrait upside down" then
        set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 270
     else if theOrientation = "landscape left" then
        set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 180
     else if theOrientation = "landscape right" then
        set the angle of image "butao_home_low.png" of card "game_stuff" to 0
     end if
     put theOrientation into lPrevOrientation
   end if
   if there is an image "butao_home_low.png" of this cd then send "check" to me in 333 millisecs
end check

Kind regards,

Mark
