How to create a speed meter?

Hi Gamesalad Community,

So i have a new idea for a game but i am stuck trying to figure out how to do something. Basically i have an actor that you have to press to shoot objects. However, to make the game more difficult i want to add something like a speed meter that controls the speed of an actor, so that when the actor is touched, it will travel to the objects at a different speed each time depending on when the person touched the actor, so if the person doesn't touch at the right time, the actor won't reach the object, which makes the game more difficult. Does this make sense. Just wondering if their are any different tutorials or if anyone can help me.

Here's a demo. Click and hold the red bar to begin. Release to set the speed. Only works once so you'll have to reset to try it again.
