	//		Handles flashvar serialization
	//		Converting complex objects into a simple, clear string that can be appended
	//		to the swf as a query: myMovie.swf?flashvars=foo.
	//		Note this needs to work with the SWF, which must know what variables to expect.
	//		Therefore this is something of an "internal" class - unless you know how to
	//		modify or create SWFs.
	//
	//	description:
	//		JSON could be done, but Deft does not yet have a JSON parser, and quotes are
	//		very problematic since Flash cannot use eval(); JSON parsing was successful
	//		when it was fully escaped, but that made it very large anyway. flashvar
	//		serialization at most is 200% larger than JSON.
	//
	//	See:
	//		Deft/common/flashVars.as
	//
