Disabling screen orientation inside GameSalad?

in Working with GS (Mac)
So I have a unique problem I think.... But I'm not sure. I know that you can limit the screen orientation of a game outside of GS when you publish by selecting which orientations you want.

Is it possible to limit this inside the game? For example if I wanted the main screen to be portrait and some of the game play to be landscaped is there someway to make this happen? I know you can flip the device and it will change automatically in the viewer, but I don't always want you to be able to flip it..... Just curious.... I didn't want to get into it and find out it doesn't work..

Thanks all!

    Look under the scene atributes tab and then autorotate.
    Hope that helps,

    Ahh.. cool.. I think I may be able to make this work... Only question now is... Do I have to actually build the app on my phone to see if it works because it seems like the GS Viewer is going to rotate no matter what?

    Well looking at it closer it doesn't seem to be away to control the rotation on the fly. I wanted to make a game where every once in awhile you turn the screen landscape to access bonuses... I can turn the screen and access them... But there doesn't seem to be away to turn off that effect. I only want you to be able to make it landscape every so often.

    Well.. you can make rules the change whether or not the user can rotate.
    However, if you're doing a game like that, i'd recommend you just letting the user rotate whenever. GS will automatically rearrage actors, but you need to help it out some with the new screen area.
