Move actor after destroying a different actor?

Hi everyone, I am new to GameSalad and trying to fumble my way slowly through it all. I have watched a few videos and read the manual (once). I am now trying to get familiar with the game and I think I have some of the basics down however, I am trying to figure out the best way to move an actor after another actor has been destroyed. I am thinking it might have to do with constrain attribute, but constrain attribute might be over my head a bit for the moment. Any insight could be helpful.

I would make game Boolean attribute. "Die and move. "
Whatever rule triggers the actors death I would add behavior. Change attribute "die and move" to true.
In the actor you want to move I would add rule.
If game attribute "die and move" is true
Move actor. I
Ah okay, so a true false statement. That might be a good idea. Thanks, going to mess around with Boolean attributes for a few hours now.
Hopefully not a few hours since @Toque just explained how to do it.
Well, I am terrible at learning, so still going to be a few more hours before I nail it down. Working on trying to figure out how to change attribute "die and move" to true. But, I will fumble with it a bit more before I feel like I need help. So far I can click the box next to the game rule "die and move" to make the actor I want to move actually move. However applying it to move after I destroy the other actor is taking a bit of time.
edit: I figured out the problem... I capitalized True instead of lowercase. It is always the little things that trip me up.
Ah, good catch. If you have any questions, just ask.
GS should recognize that or not accept invalid entries. Not your fault.
I m sure over the next few week/months/years I will have plenty of questions. Will try to help others as I go too. But there is a lot for me to learn still. I might be trying to create something far bigger than I should, but it is the only way to learn.
