  @somezombiegm this is platform dependent and currently possible only on IOS
  
  First right click on the project in Gideros Studio, select properties and then select ios and choose autorotation for devices you want, usually iphone and ipad
  
  Click ok
  
  Then you you get it exported to xCode, simply select both landscape modes there
  and it will autorotate only in these landscapes

  Oh I didn't specify, I'm making an android game. So... It can't be done?

  @somezombiegm well android does not have internal implementation of autorotation as ios
  
  you can try to implement it yourself, but it may be difficult and have some caveats
  
  1) use accelerometer to and Application:getDeviceOrientation() to detect orientation changes
  2) use centerly position sprite on the stage
  3) rotate this sprite
  
  but as I said, not the best way
  
  we will be thinking on possible solutions on android about it further, to make them behave more as on ios

  @ar2rsawseen I've found a solution that works for me. The way I test my game on devices (and perhaps everyone else, but I just know this one) is to export it, then import it with Eclipse and then run as Android application (but you need to instal the Android plugin and the API for the devices version).
  
  So, the solutions is: on the Android Manifest add sensorLandscape on screen orientation:
  
  android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" =D
