Need help, actor move in direction facing

mandance

After a long hiatus I'm back into making iphone games, more importantly releasesing an Ipad version of my current game Pearl Attack. Here is my question.

I am trying to figure out a way to have an actor move in a direction using a swipe or poke. Here are two possible solutions I worked out.

Have an actor ato rotate, upon touch have the actor accelerate in the direction it's facing. Trouble is, I don't know how to do the last bit.

Or I'd love to have the actor move in direction I swipe..

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.
