Accelerometer not smooth (ANDROID AIR)

[RobFacks]

Can I get some help on this.

I did an as class to test the Accelerometer with a sprite and it is all choppy.

here is the code...

package
{
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
    import flash.display.StageAlign;
    import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

   
    public class AccelerometerBall extends Sprite
    {
        //public var _sphere:MovieClip = new test_mc() as MovieClip;
        public var textMC:MovieClip = new textField_mc() as MovieClip;
        public var _accelerometer:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
        public var _sphere:Sprite = new Sprite();
       
   
   
           
        public function AccelerometerBall()
        {
            stage.frameRate = 4;
            stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
           
            _sphere = new Sprite();
            _sphere.graphics.beginFill(0xFF000F);
            _sphere.graphics.drawCircle(10, 10, 20);
            _sphere.cacheAsBitmap = true;
            _sphere.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
            _sphere.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
            addChild(_sphere);

           
           
            addChild(textMC);
            if (Accelerometer.isSupported)
            {
                _accelerometer.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE,moveObject);
            }
            else
            {
                textMC.text_txt.width = 200;
                textMC.text_txt.text = "Accelerometer not supported.";
            }
   
        }
       
        public function moveObject (event:AccelerometerEvent):void
        {
            stage.frameRate = 100;
           
           
           
            _sphere.x -= (event.accelerationX * 200);
            _sphere.y += (event.accelerationY * 50);
           
            textMC.text_txt.width = 200;
            textMC.text_txt.height = 200;
            textMC.text_txt.text = "accelerationX = " + event.accelerationX +
                "\naccelerationY = " + event.accelerationY +
                "\naccelerationZ = " + event.accelerationZ +
                "\ntimestamp = " + event.timestamp + "\nframeRate = " + stage.frameRate;
           
            if (_sphere.x < 0) {
                _sphere.x = 0;
            } else if (_sphere.x > stage.stageWidth) {
                _sphere.x = stage.stageWidth;
            }
           
            if (_sphere.y < 0) {
                _sphere.y = 0;
            } else if (_sphere.y > stage.stageHeight)
            { _sphere.y = stage.stageHeight;
            }

        }
       
    }
}

I'm a beginner too so don't take my advice too seriously.

But it looks like the reason that the movement is not smooth is because of the low framerate.

stage.frameRate = 4;

Try increasing the frame rate and see what happens.

Also, look into time based animation for the smoothest movement.

Hope this helped a little.
