staticcreateUID():String

Generates a UID (unique identifier) based on ActionScript's

 *  pseudo-random number generator and the current time.
 *
 *  <p>The UID has the form
 *  <code>"XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"</code>
 *  where X is a hexadecimal digit (0-9, A-F).</p>
 *
 *  <p>This UID will not be truly globally unique; but it is the best
 *  we can do without player support for UID generation.</p>
