Haxe
#1

Hi,
I’d like to intercept system events like sreen orientation change, screen turn on/off etc… from inside the brwser running my application.
How can I do this? Is it possible to listem to this kind of events?

Screen always ON when running on mobile browser (HTML5 target)

How would you do this in HTML5? I’m not sure there are screen on/off events, and orientation change (I think) is determined only by a page resize

There are no screen on/ff events but there is an event for a changed screen oriëntation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/orientationchange.

What is Event.ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE for? I am a bit confused about the situations when it is triggered…

#6

And how do I intercept it in Haxe/Openfl?

At the moment, you would use js.Browser.window and add an event listener, I think :slight_smile:
