How do I throw object with mouse?

Hello.

Is there a behavior that let's us move an object with our mouse and, on release, it follows physics and gets thrown with a certain velocity?

Are there a lot of games that allow you to drag and throw objects?

Thank you. I'll try it when I get back.

I tried Lordshiva's boomerang capx, and it launches when you click the mouse button, but it doesn't adjust the angle or velocity in relation to the mouse motion the way you wanted...

Here is a sample I made for someone a couple weeks ago (it started as a project to show the dots for a trajectory, and ended up being an angry birds clone). You can launch red birds with the slingshot - it sets the angle and velocity based on how you pull it. You can also pick up a white bird and just toss it. It works with both mouse and touch (and works well on my iPhone). Obviously, you have to calibrate the velocity when you throw things to match how you want the gameplay to work...

Thank you Allan but I am not looking for the functionality in angry birds. I am looking for if I am holding an object with my mouse, after I move my mouse, I release the left click and the object continues in that direction. Just like if you throw a ball in real life, when you release it from your hand, the ball keeps going until it falls down.

The .capx provided by AllanR also contains that functionality.

Oh thank you very much!!! I will look at it and try to implement it into my game.

Its a great demo! Thank you!!

Is there a way to stop an object at a certain place if you drag past it? I am having trouble when I drag a cube into my player. After I release it inside of the player, the player cannot move. I would like to stop the cube from going into the player. Do I have to build my own drag and drop logic?
