AS3 Accelerometer & Wind Movement - actionscript-3

Question

I am using the standard Accelerometer template & am trying to create a wind effect on the ball, however I am having trouble getting my coded wind to move ball as ball only seems to respond to Accelerometer movements.
is there any way to move ball without disabling Accelerometer?
I have setup wind directions & strength, but when I test even when screen is flat & ball is in center of screen the wind variables / code has no effect.
an example of wind move ball function I am using is
if (windD == "left")
{ball.x -= ball.x-WindStrength;}
if (windD == "right")
{ball.x += ball.x+WindStrength;}
Any ideas.

Answer 1

OK, I figured it out.
My problem was I was trying to add a wind movement function in its own function outside Accellerometer movement functions.
Solution: was to move my wind code inside accellerometer function:
ball.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBall);
function moveBall(evt:Event){
ball.x -= accelX*10;
ball.y += accelY*10;
if(ball.x > (480-ball.width/2)){
ball.x = 480-ball.width/2;
}
if(ball.x < (0+ball.width/2)){
ball.x = 0+ball.width/2;
}
if(ball.y > (800-ball.width/2)){
ball.y = 800-ball.width/2;
}
if(ball.y < (0+ball.width/2)){
ball.y = 0+ball.width/2;
}
// Wind Functions
//Wind Strength
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "1")
{WindStrength = int(2);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "2")
{WindStrength = int(3);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "3")
{WindStrength = int(4);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "4")
{WindStrength = int(5);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "5")
{WindStrength = int(6);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "6")
{WindStrength = int(7);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "7")
{WindStrength = int(8);}
if (this.Stage_Txt_Box.text == "8")
{WindStrength = int(9);}
//Wind Directions
trace(WindStrength);
if (windD == "left")
{ball.x -= WindStrength; trace("Wind is blowing left");}
if (windD == "right")
{ball.x += WindStrength; trace("Wind is blowing right");}
if (windD == "up")
{ball.y -= WindStrength; trace("Wind is blowing up");}
if (windD == "down")
{ball.y += WindStrength; trace("Wind is blowing down");}
}
