You can have the actor follow the finger touch like this:

Or, you can move the actor on a grid as explained here:

As for changing the image, I would use Rotate to Position and rules that pair the actor's direction with the correct image rotation:

I have a question to add onto this one.

How do you make it so an actor is dragged by your finger, but it lags behind some and is not as sharp to follow, but if you hold your finger in one spot the actor will get to that spot like 1 sec later.

Hope this makes sense

I am working on a project that uses something like that. I have it working with accelerate toward and rules that apply some heavy drag once the actor is within a preset radius(magnitude) of the mouse position...
