I've been creating flow diagrams for over a decade and I get frustrated that Illustrator doesn't have connectors... now I use cacoo.com it's really easy to use web based app and it's free to make diagrams and export to png. THe paid version lets you share more have other users and export to various formats even illustrator, svg, pdf etc.

Simply put, you can't.

Illustrator offers no ability to connect objects beyond grouping them or compound shapes. Neither groups nor compound shapes will offer the dynamic ability to move objects similar to Visio.

I am not even aware of any plug-ins for Illustrator which will allow this. It simply can not be done in Illustrator.

Anchors need to be specifically selected along with a shape in order to move them together.
