IOS Device Rotation

Sory to repost this threads, but am still struggling with it. I've been having a problem with rotaition, and have been cutting it out of my apps. I'm easily able to arrange the menus too look great in portrait and landscape. If I launch the app in either Portrait or Landscape it looks perfect. The problem is if I rotate while using the app. The icons rotate, this is, they dont stay upside down or sideways, but they dont arrange correctly. Let say I have a Menu Button Screen with 4 buttons, arranged in grid. On portrait it has two butons on top and two below. On landscape it has all four in one row. If I launch in portrait and with the app open rotate to landscape, the icons rotate correctly but the four buttons dont stay on only one row, as they should and as they will when I open the app in landscape. It gives me the same display as in portrait. Is there anyway around this? Thank you

I use menu button menu and I disallow rotation for the same reason. In these situations, if I need screen rotation, I use the list menu. Unless the button menu plugin is enhanced to control the layout differently I cannot see a way around it either.

Hi MadRod, I can be hard to create for both landscape and portrait. That's why I created the poll you commented in. Maybe this post can help you out: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=53E8A2BB5CB29693C0431FB&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=orientation&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= Best Regards, Danny
