Adobe AIR - stage orientation / rotation

Question

Hello,
I'm developing an desktop AIR aplication.
At some point the user can rotate de aplication (0º or 180º).
I looked at the API and its possbile to change the application orientation on AIR for mobile as described on this article:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS901d38e593cd1bac1c39723e12caaf5620c-7fff.html
Is kind of stupid it isn't possible on AIR for desktop...
Does anyone knows a way to accomplish this?
Rotate the stage, native window, main timeline... don't know... some weird hack?
I want to avoid the need for an empty sprite just to hold the other class and get my displaylist deeper...
Thank you.

// This could be used instead of a container
//Caveats: All DisplayObjects (Sprites, MovieClips) must have theire Registration point in the center
//Use the stagewidth/height to determin the centerpoint of your stage (e.g. for A HD Monitor it would be 960,540
//to reposition all of your objects
var displayObjects:Array = new Array();
var displayObjectPoints:Array = new Array();
function getAllDisplayObjects():void{
    for (var i:int = 0;i<stage.numChildren; i++){
            displayObjects.push(stage.getChildAt(i));
            displayObjectPoints.push(new Point(stage.getChildAt(i).x,stage.getChildAt(i).y));
    simulateStageRotation();
function simulateStageRotation():void{
    //do the math for positioning your objects accordingly
