Create a new empty movie clip, name it "drag" and place it somewhere
on the layout. Bring up the instance properties for the clip and also, call
it "drag".
Open the frame actions for the first frame of the movie and insert the following
code:
startDrag ("_root.drag", true);
stop ();
This will tell the movie to attach the drag movie clip to the cursor. This
allows us to track the cursor's location.
Create a new empty movie clip, name it "control" and place it somewhere
on the layout. Give this instance the name "control".
