Learning Progress 1 :Accelerometer Test

Accelerometer Test

Today i start to explode the coding part of my application. So i go online to search some tutorial to learn how to program Accelerometer.

First i need to understand what is Accelerometer. To explain in a simple like is "The accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. It is also capable of detecting rotation and motion gestures such as swinging or shaking."

I found a few of research The first link i found is
http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3accelerometer/

but while i am exploring it i found the version that was shown in the web is no similar to what i downloaded in my computer. So i have a quite scroll to check out more i find out i cannot really follow this tutorial. So i continue my research online to find another tutorial.

After some research i found this youtube tutorial that teach user to create a pinball game by using accelerometer.

In this tutorial,  we start to learn how to track down the data of accelerometer collected. Accelerometer are able to sense x, y and z in dept. So by tracking down the code we are able to use the code to make the pinball. 

In the youtube tutorial, it have a tutorial link for people to visit to tutorial homepage and in the homepage it provide the code that he use in the tutorial

After watching the video, i start my flash to try out the code the are given. 

first i create a template the look like a map.

After i finish the code i try to change the instant name first. and before the i try to trace the accelerometer x and y.

These are the code i will be using to trigger the movement of map.

And below is the outcome of my learning . I learn how to trigger the accelerometer and how it link to trigger the map.

After doing the test i realise that calculation that the tutorial teach didn't go too well with accelerometer. So continue some research on other coding.

This video show a better calculation of how to move the object by using accelerometer . and this is the code that code in the video.
