Hi

I am not sure if this is actually a Cocos2D issue, but I try anyway, maybe someone has an idea.

I have an app using Cocos2D and want to make the help pages with html. Therefor I made created a WebViewController that inherits from UIViewController. So far so good, but what ever I tried I am not able to get this thing into landscape mode. I can use the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientationmethod to allow roration (which works) but the WebViewController always starts up in portrait mode.

I also added UIInterfaceOrientation to the Info.plist, but nothing seems to help. I already found some links to undocumented API calls (I know, not a good idea at all) but even those did not work ?!

Heres the code I use to show the WebViewController:
```
WebViewController *web = [[WebViewController alloc] init];

	[self showUIViewController:webViewController];

	[webViewController loadHelp];
        [[Director sharedDirector] pause];

	[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
	[UIView setAnimationDuration:.5];
	[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp forView:[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] cache:YES];

	[[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:controller.view];

	[UIView commitAnimations];
```
Does anyone has any idea how this work ?

Hi, the design pattern that works for me is to use a CCLayer as the controller and to simply load the UIWebView... regardless, you can directly affect the orientation of this or any UIVIew by applying a transform:
```
webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
webView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation( CC_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS( 90.0f ) );
webView.bounds = CGRectMake(50, 10, 300, 200);
```

In my viewcontroller's -viewDidLoad I put:

self.view.center = CGPointMake(160, 240);
self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CC_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS( 90.0f ));
