Flick/Throw Help!

I want to make a game for ipad where you flick the actor with your finger and he goes flying across the screen, but slowly slowing down then coming to a complete stop. I want to be able to throw him at all angles. How do i do it? Please help me! PS i cant watch tshirtbooth's example cause im on my friends computer.

To slow the Actor down, you can adjust its drag attributes. Maybe after a certain time, start a Timer that keeps adding 0.01 to the drag until it stops.
