While my research for a gesture, pattern or dwt recognition algorithm for recognizing movements of the wiimote’s accelerometers I found this amazing small but accurate “$1 Gesture Recognizer in JavaScript“. Because it works great I converted it into Actionscript for Flash. Here you can test it and download the source:

   this is really cool. how did you set the points up for it to recognize the gestures? do you have a learning algorithm?

   No, there are static templates but you can manually learn them new templates.
