Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read this and help a newbie out.
I'm just getting my feet wet with AS3 as I've finally decided to
abandon the AS2 way of life.
I'm trying to use CustomOrientation.as, and I keep getting 3 errors in
my main .fla file, error 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method
addFramScript.
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type
flash.display.StageOrientation
5000: The class 'CustomOrientation' must subclass
'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of
that type
In my main.fla file I call CustomOrientation and I have the line: new
CustomOrientation(stage, true, true, false, false); in the code in the
first key frame, any help would be greatly appreciated.
/**
* CustomOrientation.as
*
* Instructions:
* In iPhone OS Settings, turn 'Auto orientation' ON and set your 'Aspect ratio'
* to the opposite of the one you want to use. Also, use only
* 'Default-Portrait.png'; if you want a landscape app, rotate your landscape
* image 90 degrees clockwise and save as 'Default-Portrait.png'.
*
* Usage:
* When you call the constructor, first pass in your stage, then either 'true'
* or 'false' for each orientation in order:
* 1 default, 2 upsideDown, 3 rotatedLeft, and 4 rotatedRight
* You can listen for the 'CustomOrientation.INITIAL_ORIENTATION' event to
* determine when the stage is set so that you can reveal the stage or remove
* a black overlay.
*
* Example (landscape only):
* new CustomOrientation(stage, false, false, true, true);
*
* Example (portrait only):
* new CustomOrientation(stage, true, true, false, false);
