macromedia flash handhelds : WM 2003 SE Landscape / Portrait switching mode and Flash

- Have anyone any suggestion on how to rotate our Flash apps when used with
WM 2003 SE ?
- How to detect the changed display mode ?
- Should we develop 2 versions of our application or is there a work around
this ?

Microsoft suggests the following for conventionnal applications:
"You can ensure that an application works in both landscape and portrait
modes if your application always checks the screen size by calling the
GetSystemMetrics function. Once you determine the screen size, resize your
application so that it fits on the screen."

- Can we do this with ActionScript ?

Any help would be greatful.

The detection of display modes needs to happen at the Player level.
Currently there is not a way to access it via Actionscript. However it
can be worked around via a separate app running on the devices written
in a language that provides access to the aforementioned API.
