Chapter 15 Exercise 27, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

15.27 (Control a moving text)
Write a program that displays a moving text, as shown in
Figure 15.33a and b. The text moves from left to right circularly.
When it disappears in the right, it reappears from the left.
The text freezes when the mouse is pressed and moves
again when the button is released.
