How do I Fling an object..?

Ok, so i want to have a mechanic like you click on hold (let's say) a block, and when you move the mouse to the right of it and let go, it will fling the block towards that point. How would i set this up?

So far, all that happens in the block is moved and carried by my curser. I hope this all makes sense!

Thanks!

Slingshot -

Using 8 direction or platform.

On clicked object, set object as selected by saving it's UID to a variable.

On clicked released, pick object by saved his - set object vector and max speed x,y to difference in mouse position and object x,y.

I'm sorry, i'm really new to and i have no idea what the second part of your answer means D:

i've managed to get it whenever i click it moves to the right.. but not towards the cursor, no matter where i put the cursor.

Not at a computer right now, I can make you an example later. Although I'm sure you should be able to find some already existing examples if you search.

That would be great. It's similar to angry birds mechanics, except i want the block to go towards my cursor depending how far i drag the block, if that makes sense.

I used bullet instead of 8direction, since 8 direction decelerates x and y vectors independently and there was no way to set angle of motion, resulting in an undersirable movement path.

You can probably leave out the picking by UID if you only ever have one block at a time.

On C2, go to File -> New and search for Physics Catapult. It's an angry birds-style game that does exactly what you need.
