Change scroll content direction from directive

Hi!

I’ve been trying to change the direction value of the ion-content from a directive. I’ve tried wrapping it on a timeout, the value on the DOM is changed but the scroll only works in the default direction (y)

It works if I place the variable on the beginning of the Controller but it doesn’t seem to take the change when on a directive

$timeout(function(){
   scope.scrollDirection = atEmulator.checkIfEmulator() ? 'xy' : 'y';
},0);

Any suggestions ? I’ve looked at the scroll delegate but no luck.
