Actor auto movement

Total rookie here, sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I make it so an actor will automatically start moving at a set speed after 1 touch? This is in regards to a game like 'the impossible game' or 'geometry dash' I have managed to make it so either:

• The actor will start moving as soon as I preview

• The actor will move at a certain velocity once touched, but that ends up slowing down the speed

• The actor will move only when I touch/hold it

This is for a mobile game, just in case it needs something specific done to it. Cheers

The issue is that When Touch is Pressed is a rule that is only true while the mouse is down. Once you stop holding the click/tap, it is then false. So you have to change an attribute in the actor. Create a boolean attribute called self.moving and add these two rules:

When touch is pressed Change attribute self.moving to true
When attribute self.moving is true      Move/Change Velocity

Sweet, so I've got that sorted, but it will only begin to move if I touch the actor (ball)
How could I make it so the ball will start to move if I touch anywhere on the screen?
Once again, sorry for rookie questions
