Adding a data matrix bar code reader to an iOS app with AIR 2.7??

Has anyone added a data matrix bar code reader to their AS3 mobile application(using the iPhone camera) and deployed on iOS? I found tagsrepublic has something for purchase, can't tell if it would work in a generated .ipa.

I emailed them but in the meantime I was curious if anyone else has tackled this and if there are any alternative AS3 libraries out there for reading data matrix.

Thanks!

Sure! There is an AS3 branch in the zxing library. This should get you started (its for Androdi but should work for IOS too):

Thanks for the link. I was reading up on zxing earlier. It seems like there is only support for QR codes, not data matrix. I have to dig a little deeper though as I am not 100% sure.
