Help with moving background...how to?

I've searched the forums for this but can't find an answer so please help if you can.
I have an iPhone game with a scene that is 3 screens wide by 3 screens tall.
I want a Bird actor to stay center screen and have the background an all elements in the scene travel past the actor when the iPhone is tilted left, right, up and down (via accelerometer data).
So it is similar to the Space Rocks Sample and Shoot Em Up, but instead of moving the actors past my Bird actor, I want the camera to move. There's a free game on App Store that does what I'm talking about "Cameltry Lite". Can you advise as to how I could recreate this effect using the camera (or do I have to move all the actors via accelerometer)?

See this post for constraints and then think about new applications of the method.
