Create an "iBeer" like effect in AS3 for iOS

Question

Hi, I need a code to do something like the "iBeer" application on the App Store.
(if you don't know what is iBeer, check out on You-Tube to see some videos)
Is there a way to do this in AS3 with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 2.6 ?
Thank you
Brandon

Hey Brandon
Altho it would be very convenient, there simply isn't a tutorial for every feature on mobile devices. I have learned that through countless hours of seaching, for various projects. What i came to find is that in the long run, i learn much more by figuring out what flash-feature (class) i need to use, and then experiment my way to what works.
My suggestion is that you play around with the Accelerometer-class and see how you can make objects move according to its data.
Here is some sample code that make a MovieClip move on an AccelerometerEvent:
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
var my_acc:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
avatar = new Avatar();
avatar.x = 160;
avatar.y = 380;
avatar.cacheAsBitmap = true;
addChild(avatar);
my_acc.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE, onAccUpdate);
my_acc.setRequestedUpdateInterval(40);
function onAccUpdate(e:AccelerometerEvent):void
avatar.x -= (e.accelerationX*50);
avatar.y += (e.accelerationY*50);
Hope this open a door to som productive experimentation for you
