look up startDrag() and stopDrag(). You can do a search for something like this in kirupa’s forums. Most questions have already been asked once if not twice.
on (release) {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
on (releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

With this code the movieClip moves in two ways, depending on the direction of your mouse. I know this code isn’t perfect, and it needs some modifications to make it more usable, but it’s a good starting point I guess… The rest is up to you (or someone else :))
The effect your after (the fading out movement) is a bit to hard for me to do right now (busy doing other projects), but I guess it has got something to do with easing. Read some excellent tutorials on: http://www.bit-101.com/tutorials/
Anyway, I hope was of some assistance
