Lock orientation AIR 2.7 Android

Question

Hi,
I working on an app where I want to respond to the device rotation changes but I want the stage to remain in the statting landscape mode.
I listen to StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING on the stage and preventDefault once I updated the app. This behavior woks when I test on the desktop. But on the devices (gTab and Atrix) the stage still re-orients.
autoOrient is set to true in the xml. aspectRation is set to landscape. Setting autoArient to false means the StageOrientationEvent never fires.
What am I missing?!
private function onStageOrientationChanging( e:StageOrientationEvent ):void
                    // do my stuff & kill event
                    e.preventDefault();

Try this:
import flash.display.StageOrientation;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var startOrientation:String = stage.orientation;
if (startOrientation == "default"){
stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT);
if (startOrientation == "upsideDown"){
stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.ROTATED_LEFT);
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING,
orientationChangeListener);
function orientationChangeListener(e:StageOrientationEvent){
if (e.afterOrientation == "default" ||
e.afterOrientation == "upsideDown"){
e.preventDefault();
