Power Bar Help

I'm trying to make a situation where the power bar increases continually for as long as you're touching the screen (with a maximum limit), but when you release, the velocity of an actor changes proportionally to the power bar. I've got the power bar made and functioning, but I can't figure out how to change the velocity of the actor from releasing without that actor being the part of the screen that you have to touch. Can anybody help me out?

    In the power bar actor, add When touch is released change attribute game.actorVelocity to self.size.Width (or Height).

    In the other actor, Change Attribute self.motion.linear velocity x (or y) to game.actorVelocity.
