The NameUtil utility class defines static methods for
creating names for Flex objects.
You do not create instances of NameUtil;
instead you call static methods of the class, such as
the NameUtil.createName() method.

"MyApplication0.addressForm.lastName.TextField17",
for a DisplayObject object that indicates its position in the
hierarchy of DisplayObject objects in an application.
[static]
Returns the name of the specified object's class,
such as "Button"
This string does not include the package name.
