4.	Write script(s) to move the picture control ( train ) along with the mouse pointer in the window when clicked. Stop moving the picture control when clicked on the picture control again. Tip: You need to declare an instance variable by selecting 'Declare/Instance Variables...' from the menu. We know that this topic is not yet covered, but, knowing one point is good enough for this exercise. The instance variable is available throughout the window. You need to write script to Clicked event of the picture control and mousemove event of the window. You may want to use PointerX() and PointerY() functions to get the mouse pointer's x and y co-ordinates. Good luck! Solution: - See solution of exercise one.
