[Fling] adding and asset with the same name/key

[John Grden]

I think we need to talk further about the configuration file.  The way I've
always dealt with this issue is with a parent/child relationship.

In the xml, you have the equivelant of a dot path like you do with objects
in Flash.

IE:

<home>
    <news>
        <archives>
        </archives>
    </news>
</home>

in this example, this maps to home.news.archives and that's what I'd use in
the list as a key:

list["home.news.archive"]

this is extremely useful in that it's completely in sync with what you're
doing with the site relationally and that key is very useful later on.  And
yes, I'm thinking beyond AssetLoader right now, but I think you get the
point.  It's a full path, if you will, to the asset, rather than just the
asset name.  This allows for duplicate names.

Make sense?
