How to collide with somethings and another actor is destroyed

I am only new to this game but i am having some problems.
1) Firstly, I am making a shut em up game for the Ipod and I have made a joystick but i want to make a button to shoot but when ever I do the bullet actor come from the button itself and not the character. when can I do to make it come out of the actor.
2)Secondly, i am making a game were you have to get keys to open certain doors. I know how to destroy things and when my main character collides with the key it gets destroyed but i also want the wall or floor to get destroyed with it.
Can anyone help me with this
