   I've seen a lot of discussion about orientation, rotation, and such.
   I put together this class to make it easy for people to set like orientation and rotate between orientations automatically.
   It also supports iPad!

   mScreen = [BEScreen screenWithOrientation:BEScreenOrientationPortrait rotates:YES allowAllOrientations:YES];
   [self addChild:mScreen];
   [mScreen addEventListener:@selector(orientationChanged:) atObject:self forType:BE_SCREEN_EVENT_ORIENTATIONCHANGED];

   I just updated it with two properties currentHeight and currentWidth. They allow you to find the current screen dimensions as opposed to the stage dimensions.
   Also, you can now set orientation manually!
   Go grab the new version off Github.

   Hey Brian, first thanks for this wonderfull class!
   But I have still a black screen (tested on iPad Sim. and Device, with BEScreen from Feb./19.) in landscape mode:
   

   screen_ = [BEScreen screenWithOrientation:BEScreenOrientationLandscapeRight rotates:YES allowAllOrientations:NO];
   [self addChild:screen_];

   After a turn of 180° the content appears and all rotations are recognized.

   Hey Jugibur.
   I fixed that issue recently. Make sure you grab the latest copy off Github.
   Just saw Feb. 19.
   I'm not sure what the issue is. Can you maybe post a small example which reproduces this?

    I have copied the newest version (from today, 19. Feb. 2011) and
    have stripped all the unnecassary code from my game to prepare you a demo-version.
    And now, after starting, it just works fine -- Arrrgh!

    Then, in your demo I added in the plist-file:
    "Initial interface orientation" : "Landscape (right home button)"
    and changed the initializer to "BEScreenOrientationLandscapeRight".

    First, the same bug occures! Then, after starting the iPhone simulator, I restarted the iPad Sim. again and all content appears - so weird! Seems hard to find this bug...

    ////////
    EDIT:
    Think I've got it. Just copy the BEScreen-files *directly* in the app folder (Classes) -- a reference to this files placed in another folder brings the black screen again.
    EDIT2 (after 10 month):
    Want just say that it works fine as extension in another directory. At that time I doesn't know about cleaning the build folder to force a recompiling of all external libraries...

    Very strange. It should work no matter where the files are. I will try it later.

    Ok, as per reminder on another thread, I have added BEScreen to the extensions wiki.
    Here it is:

    Hello Guys,
    I'm trying to use BEScreen in my app.As the instruction suggested, I dropped the .h and the .m file in the Sparrow Project and I was thrown with whole bunch of errors.
    I had to include the SPSPrite, SPStage and UIKit/UIApplication.h to resolve the compilation errors
    However, now I'm stuck at this stage:

    - (void)addedToStage:(SPEvent *)event {
    [self removeEventListener:@selector(addedToStage:) atObject:self forType:SP_EVENT_TYPE_ADDED_TO_STAGE];
    switch (mOrientation) {
    case BEScreenOrientationPortrait:
    self.rotation = SP_D2R(0);
    The Compiler complains of "Implicit declaration of function 'SP_D2R' is invalid in C99".
    I have no clue whats going on here.

    I thought usage of BEScreen was suppose to be seamless. Did I miss anything?

    Thanks

    I dont know what that error means exactly, but you will definitely need to include "SPMacros.h". Most people don't run into this problem because they include "Sparrow.h" project wide. Personally, I try to include all the necessary headers directly into my extensions to avoid any issues such as this.

    The error means that functions in the C99 standard must be declared explicitly (eg before) the function is used, as opposed to implicitly defining it (eg using it and defining it after the fact).

    The solution is as shilo says
