        //              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.
