Question in Mind:
How to control a car with Accelerometer sensor in ActionScript 3 (AS3)?
How to read Accelerometer sensor property with ActionScript 3 (AS3)?
How to test Accelerometer with AS3 in iOS And Android Devices?
Solution:
- Step 1 – Open Adobe Flash then create a new document using File > New… > from “General” Tab select “AIR for iOS” or “AIR for Android” then click “OK” button.
- Step 2 – Create a Movie Clip on document stage Then set a instance name “car”.
- Step 3 – Copy this script and past it to your selected timeline frame then publish it on a selected device using USB debuging. Then test it, hope you will enjoy!
//Import Library
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.Event;
//Variables
var accelX:Number;
var accelY:Number;
var fl_Accelerometer:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
//Get Accelerometer Property
fl_Accelerometer.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE, fl_AccelerometerUpdateHandler);
//Move Object
this.car.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveCar);
//Get Accelerometer Movement
function fl_AccelerometerUpdateHandler(event:AccelerometerEvent):void
{
accelX = event.accelerationX;
accelY = event.accelerationY;
}
//Control Car with Accelerometer
function moveCar(evt:Event){
this.car.x -= accelX*30;
this.car.y += accelY*30;
//Limit platform
if(this.car.x > (480-this.car.width/2)){
this.car.x = 480-this.car.width/2;
}
if(this.car.x < (0+this.car.width/2)){
this.car.x = 0+this.car.width/2;
}
}
Note: AS3 Accelerometer is supported only on smart mobile devices where Accelerometer sensor available.
